In 1956, French fashion designer Christian Dior collaborated with Daniel Swarovski's grandson, Manfred, to introduce the Aurora Borealis: an iridescent coating applied to crystal rhinestones that produced a rainbow effect. For around 10 years, these pieces became the height of fashion and are now extremely desirable.
