Memento mori
Time and death were the inspirations behind Christian Dior‘s opulent Dior Joaillerie.*
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 is several years ago now but this Reine de Quartzie ring in platinum, diamonds, pink quartz and pearls, for example, is still relevant to my interests.
