Shine like a constellation of stars! No need to look to the heavens when these gleaming rainbow-tinted aurora-borealis crystals will make you the best and brightest by far. This glorious necklace would have graced some very festive French necks over the last century, and now it's time for a new custodian. Aurora-borealis crystal stones set are in a lovely gilt metal setting. The unusual starry shape of this elegant necklace makes it a real conversation piece. 
Spring ring clasp.
 
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.
