designed by Anne Cabarbaye, this one-of-a-kind parrure - comprising a ring, bracelet, earrings and necklace - is making its way to every LV Maison and Global store around the world to tempt their top most tier clients into surrendering their chequebooks to its brillince. they're not just any diamond set jewellery. each stone is cut specially to mimic the house's iconic quatrefoils. with 66 to 77 different facets, these unique LV diamonds outshine the traditional briliant or conventional princess cut diamonds.

approximate prices in Australian dollars: earrings will cost $570,000, a serious $1.9 million for the bracelet, and the multi-strand necklace will pull in a cool $4.7 million. *GASP*
