Sneak Preview: Dior Joaillerie’s Skull Bling
Time and death were the inspirations behind Christian Dior‘s latest line of uber-opulent jewelry. Dubbed the “Kings and Queens Collection,” these luxurious accessories, designed by Victoire de Castellane, are crafted from opal, jade, and obsidian. The stones are then sculpted into skulls complete with ornate, blinged out crowns and collars. The garish heads are meant to represent the passing of time and the coming of death, while the sparkling crown and collar remind us to enjoy every moment. This time around, we sort of don’t see what’s so hot about this haute piece. [I strongly disagree. They’re gorgeous and I’ll take two please!—Editor] Especially not when the rings, which are meant to be worn two at time, will surely cost a fortune. [D’oh!—Ed.] We’re assuming this isn’t necessarily in your budget, but in case it is log on to Dior‘s fine jewelry website for details on where to buy—then call us for dinner!

Filing these lovelies away in my jewelry porn file! What I would do for that ring…
That reasoning is very similar to Mexican sugar skulls, which are almost as beautiful, cost about $.50, and you can eat them when you’re done ogling.
