Most items in the Christian Dior collection may beyond the financial reach of most people, but this Dior Cristal Boreal Crystal Gloss Jewel is a more affordable piece of luxury.

And best of all, it’s versatile - as well as being a glamorous necklace, the pendant also houses a Dior sparkle-effect lipgloss in one of two shades - Pink Crystal and Pure Crystal.

The piece is inspired by the Aurora Borealis crystal, which Swarovski originally made for Dior back in the 1950s as a homage to the famous Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. Each updated Cristal Boreal Crystal Gloss Jewel features four of the Aurora Borealis crystals plus a smattering of other Swarovski jewels.

The Dior Cristal Boreal Crystal Gloss Jewel is a limited-edition piece and as you can imagine at $130 it’s selling quickly. For stockists phone (02) 9695 4800.
