iWant: Skeleton Hand

For Fendi Royalty Delfina Delettrez, a 4th generation Fendi, design is in her blood. Her great-grandmother, grandmother and mother are all shared her passion, but following in her father's footsteps, Delettrez launched her jewelry line almost 2 years ago.

Forget knuckle rings, I think that this skeleton hand is pretty super amazing! It's also in sync with the rising recent bone trend. Unfortunately it has a pretty out of this world sort of price tag. It's £15,000 or $27 378 as a special order piece from Luisaviaroma! Wish there was a version that did not feature 18 ct gold, 422 diamonds (for a total of 4.4 carats) or an 11 carat Cabocon Ruby, because maybe then I could one day even dream of affording it! Definitely one for the permanent iWant collection as I will never own!!!

Sunglasses 55% off $325-500
No Shoes at the sale :(

Bags Mostly 60% Off $715-6885 (maybe more?). Those pictured on the right with the detailing were on the higher end of the spectrum.
