Luxury Jewelry Collection Inspired by Alice In Wonderland
The Brazilian brand H.Stern in partnership with Disney has released an extraordinary luxury collection of unusual ring inspired by “Alice in Wonderland” of Tim Burton. Strange roses, colorful mushrooms, bird from beautiful garden, the Cheshire Cat, Jabberwocky and other wonders.
The collection consists of five rings that are all made of gold. Some items are covered with colored enamel and adorned with diamonds. All products are made under order, and like in the movie, sizes/proportions can vary considerably depending on what you want. The jewelry can be ordered in two sizes - “human dimension” and “extraordinary dimension” which are enormous sculptures.
Brace yourselves though, they're insanely expensive!
Topiary Garden
The ring is made of hundreds of gold leaves, which form a tree, trimmed in the form of birds. Price: $7.450
Cheshire Cat
The ring is also made of gold. The Cheshire cat's wide smile glows in the dark. Price: $20.500
Jabberwocky
The body of a dragon made of black gold and encrusted with diamonds. Price: $8.690
Mushroom Forest
Reminiscent of the magic mushrooms but with diamonds. Price: $18.000
Living Flowers
Look more like dead flowers to me but turns out they get a beautiful purple hue in the light. Price: $23.000

Fallen Princesses
A Cinderella with a secret, A modern day Snow White mother, A hairless Rapunzel and a Not So Little Red Riding Hood!!! Hilarious! This is a project by Dina Goldstein. Here's how she came about it:
"These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The '...happily ever after' is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.
The project was inspired by my observation of three-year-old girls, who were developing an interest in Disney's Fairy tales. As a new mother I have been able to get a close up look at the phenomenon of young girls fascinated with Princesses and their desire to dress up like them. The Disney versions almost always have sad beginning, with an overbearing female villain, and the end is predictably a happy one. The Prince usually saves the day and makes the victimized young beauty into a Princess.
As a young girl, growing up abroad, I was not exposed to Fairy tales. These new discoveries lead to my fascination with the origins of Fairy tales. I explored the original brothers Grimm's stories and found that they have very dark and sometimes gruesome aspects, many of which were changed by Disney. I began to imagine Disney's perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues."
