If a picture paints a thousand words, then this heavenly photography of Swarovski’s most premium piece this season alongside an Australian emblem speaks millions – even if the price tag is quite the opposite.

A hero of the Swiss brand’s Creative Director collection, its design was inspired by vintage jewellery, plus the rich textures and shadows of stones and foliage. From a distance, it’s intensely striking (think strapless black cocktail dress and heels). Up close, it’s fine detail is a knock-out.

It’s the perfect choice for Day 13 of our Brilliance in Bloom jewellery shoot series, shining a spotlight on affordable but luxurious pieces that would make great Christmas gifts for fashion-forward friends and loved ones (including yourself!).

Of course, fine detail needn’t be OTT, and nor must your gift budget be. These sweet, elegant rose gold plated rings are delightfully priced between $79 and $129 dollars and look just as good stacked as they would worn solo, or better still, to complement the Manor Necklace shining above.

Go on. You’re so worth it.
