Love the ring! Didn't know the style was now available in ceramic. Is it black ceramic with the clous in platinum?A picture I took last month of my Chiffre Rouge D01 watch and my new LV Clous ceramic and platinum ring with diamond.

This is so gorgeous!

Yes it is. I really love it! Almost has a gothic look to it!
I'm really loving the use of ceramic in jewelry. I also have my eye on the Chanel Ultra and Bvlgari ceramic and white gold rings.

Me too. I really like the Empreinte ring with the pave diamond circles.

Quite a fabulous look. The Dior VIII will look great with the LV ring.
I've always liked the look of Dior Homme bags (particularly during the Hedi era), but their prices are outrageous and the quality isn't terribly good. Add to that no more boutique sales, and I just can't justify paying what Dior demands.
Still love the shoes though; pretty much every pair of sneakers I own is DH

If you are ever near Florence, Italy, there is a mecca of an outlet simply called The Mall and there is a Dior boutique which houses both men's and women's collections from past seasons. Depending on the exchange rate, you can save about 50% (vs US prices) or more if you go during sale season.

I agree that Dior Homme is overpriced for what you get. Their bags are predominantly fabric-lined. The prices have gone up like crazy but there haven't been improvements to quality. Not that the quality is bad, but it isn't great.
The Dior women's line, though, is much better in my opinion.
I get that Dior is going for exclusivity (no more sales, outlets closed, tighter distribution) but, as you said, the prices have gone up without a commensurate rise in quality. The last time I visited a DH boutique I saw a lovely black tie messenger that I would've bought in a heartbeat had it been $1500; it was nearly twice that, with a fabric strap and chintzy hardware. On sale, it might've made sense; at the sticker price, I had no interest.
Sad, too, because I used to love picking up pieces at Saks, the boutique, and outlets

The runway bags from Winter 2013 are predominantly nylon ("high-tech" nylon, whatever that is) with leather trim and they are priced at around the same level as the all-leather Diorissimo!

Oh my! That's too high! Definitely not worth the money, especially for nylon!
I haven't bought a Dior Homme bag for a while. In fact, my last one was (if I remember correctly) my Dior Deville washed lambskin tote which was over 4 years ago (I obsessed over that bag, and finally found one from Bluefly).
I've been eyeing another Dior Homme tote, and finally I was able to add it to my collection.
