An incredibly rare, highly collectible piece of Y2K fashion history from John Galliano's era at Christian Dior. Released for the Holiday 2004 season, this "Pretty Charms" heavy link statement necklace features a chunky silver-tone chain holding a substantial heart-shaped padlock pendant.
The locket opens up to reveal an integrated mirror, originally designed to hold a dual solid lip gloss and lipstick set ("001 Magical Seduction"). The heart is beautifully framed by an elaborate halo of dangling, multi-faceted crystal glass charms that catch the light perfectly.
