A pair of Verdura’s signature Maltese Cross cuffs. Neiman Marcus customers who purchase the “Legendary Style with Verdura” experience, part of the retailer’s 2026 “Fantasy Gifts” list, can custom design their own pair.
Dallas—Neiman Marcus has debuted its annual catalog of Fantasy Gifts, a curation of high-end luxury bespoke items and experiences.
The retailer is also celebrating the 100th edition of its “Holiday Book,” which includes the Fantasy Gifts. This year’s edition is titled “Grand Gestures.”
Neiman Marcus has been offering Fantasy Gifts for the last 67 years, with the aim to “inspire wonder and elevate seasonal gifting,” the retailer said.
Two of the gifts are ideal for jewelry aficionados who have it all.
The “Legendary Style with Verdura” experience for two includes a private salon tour of Verdura’s historical museum collection in New York City and a fitting for a custom Maltese Cross cuff set with emeralds, sapphires, pearls, and diamonds in a one-of-one color combination.
It will take several months to make the cuff.
Following the fitting, guests will head to dinner at Orso in the Theater District. The gift also includes producer house seats to two Broadway shows during the stay and three nights in a luxury suite at the Peninsula Hotel.
The Verdura experience retails for $515,000.
“The Grand Tour with Buccellati” experience includes the opportunity to customize a piece of high jewelry.
Italian jewelry brand Buccellati is also getting in on the holiday fun.
“The Grand Tour with Buccellati” is a six-day trip for two through Venice, Florence, and Milan, personally hosted by the Buccellati family.
Guests will spend two days in each city, arriving at each location by helicopter, staying in luxury accommodations, and dining at Michelin-starred restaurants. There will also be private tours of cultural landmarks not accessible to the public.
In Venice, guests will meet Global Communications Director Maria Cristina Buccellati, then head to Burano, the “Island of Lace,” where craftspeople have inspired the jeweler’s signature honeycomb and lace openwork techniques.
In Florence, Luca Buccellati, head of special sales and VIP clients, will guide guests through the city’s artistic treasures.
In Milan, Buccellati’s home turf, guests will witness master goldsmiths at work.
The grand finale of the trip is a design session with Creative Director and Honorary President Andrea Buccellati to create a bespoke piece of high jewelry.
“Some luxuries can be acquired or inherited. This one is sculpted by the people and traditions that continue to define one of Italy’s most venerated fine jewelry families,” Neiman Marcus said.
The Buccellati experience retails for $860,000.
Big spenders can also take part in the “Saujet and Lalique Crystal Fragrance Experience.”
Guests will travel to Alsace, France, and begin the trip with a two-night stay at Villa René Lalique, a property built by the late French jewelry designer and glassmaker in 1920.
The “Saujet and Lalique Crystal Fragrance Experience” includes a two-night stay at Villa René Lalique and a set of perfumes in hand-finished Lalique crystal.
The hotel’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, where guests will dine, includes a wine cellar of more than 60,000 bottles.
Saujet founder Thomas Saujet and master perfumer Yann Vasnier will host a fragrance masterclass, then Lalique Chairman Silvio Denz will take guests on a private tour of the Musée Lalique atelier.
“More than a century ago, René Lalique transformed perfumery by elevating the perfume bottle into a crystal objet d’art,” Neiman Marcus said.
Guests will receive an exclusive Saujet Crystal Trunk housing the first edition of the new “Lumière d’Azur” collection, which includes 10 fine fragrances, presented in hand-finished Lalique crystal.
The experience retails for $115,000.
