Neiman Marcus’ ‘Fantasy Gifts’ Sparkle In Pavé This Holiday Season
The extravagant gifts in this year’s “A Neiman’s Fantasy” Holiday Book range from a Messika diamond necklace to pavé diamond cowboy boots.

Crafted by Messika, the yellow gold diamond pavé collar features an 18.05-carat fancy yellow diamond surrounded by more diamond pavé.
The necklace is paired with a trip to Our Habitas Namibia.
During the five-night stay at the luxury resort, two guests will get to go on a two-day flying safari tour led by photographer and documentary filmmaker Ami Vitale.
The excursion includes two professional cameras, two lenses, and a rolling case, along with framed photos taken by Vitale during the safari delivered to the recipient’s home.
Next, the guests will meet a member of the Messika family for a private tour of the brand’s diamond-polishing factory, where they will receive the yellow diamond necklace.

The Messika necklace and trip to Namibia is priced at $777,777.
If it is purchased, Neiman Marcus will donate $10,000 to its philanthropic arm, The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation.
“It is truly a dream to have Messika be a 2024 Fantasy Gift,” said Valérie Messika, founder and artistic director of Messika. “Creating and designing a unique piece for Neiman Marcus has been my own fantasy since we started this partnership in 2014.
“The Messika collection is bold and daring and I have been honored to have it featured within Neiman Marcus; a premier luxury retailer known for their superior customer service and merchandise leadership. Being the Fantasy Gift is a perfect example that dreams really do come true.”
For 65 years, Neiman Marcus’ “Fantasy Gifts” have included exclusive experiences and one-of-a-kind luxury items, including a $3.2 million Cartier tiara, six one-of-a-kind Oscar Heyman rings, and a trip to Zambia with designer Stephen Webster.
Among the other 2024 “Fantasy Gifts” is a pair of Miron Crosby celestial-themed boots and an astrological reading for $28,000.
This gift includes a custom version of the “Margretta” boot from the Dallas-based luxury cowboy boot brand, designed with pavé diamond stars set in 18-karat gold and turquoise with black leather representing the night sky.
Rosie Cutter, an international astrologer to the stars, will give the purchaser their personalized virtual reading.
For $1.9 million, a shopper can take home an 18th-century calèche. The seven-foot-long carved wood and iron carriage once was owned by the Spanish royal family.
The additional “Fantasy Gifts” are a VIP style experience in Paris with “Emily in Paris” costume designer Marylin Fitoussi ($175,000), a Ginori 1735 fine porcelain experience ($90,000), a Manolo Blahnik VIP shopping experience in London ($55,000), and a Judith Leiber Couture crystal mahjong set ($20,000).
