The Crystal range is just right to satiate the handbag fetish in you. Rightfully called a handbag memento, these fashion accesories are the brain child of the Swedis designer Lena Bergström. Aimed to bring an extra edge to your style statement at the most glittering of balls, the bags indeed are something to die for.
The Orrefors collection include clutches made from solid crystal with the strap developed in stainless steel. The items are part of a limited edition of five, so your desire for exclusivity can be easily met with.

Pictured above is a gem-set Bowenite Magot by Faberge that is exhibited at Christie’s auction house in Geneva on 9 May. Known as “Onassis Buddha,” it is a finely carved figure, with expressed hands, head and ruby tongue and was first bought by Aristotle Onassis in the early 1960’s and since then was kept on the “Christina” yacht. News is it may fetch $ 500,000-$700,000 during an auction sale in London on 11 June.
