Dior's Little Shop of Horrors
Did you notice the remarkable resemblance between the ring above by Dior Haute Joaillerie
and the alien-pod-plant-mother in the film Little Shop of Horrors?
And yes these are really "precious jewels" not cheeky costume jewelry. What else would one possibly think? No, the ring band is not made with an anodized-aluminum knitting needle. The beads were not assembled by a crafty soul for an Etsy boutique or a craft fair.
They are in fact really gold with real colored stones, diamonds, and acrylic automotive
lacquers and epoxy. No other medium could produce
lacquers and epoxy. No other medium could produce
these other-worldly colors, colors not found in nature,
but found on airbrushed skate boards and graffiti-covered walls.

the forever trendy Victoire de Castellane.

Does that refer to the color or the cost? Unless of course you have beaucoup petro-dollars, then it doesn't matter. It's not that I am opposed to petro-chemical buying power. Console yourself at least these jewels utilize the latest in petrochemical-resin technology covering the gold with dazzling unnatural colors.
At a time of planetary strife how original is that?!

This is the nature of business here in France. Haute Joaillerie
inspired by serious global currents like psychotropic plants, Japanese plastic toys, manga, and graffiti ; where the toxic fairy still presides in the land of absinth.
