About the Apple Minaudiere

Judith Leiber founded her namesake house in New York in 1963 after training as a master handbag craftsman in Budapest, and by the 1970s her hand-set Swarovski crystal minaudieres had become a red-carpet fixture. The Apple Minaudiere is one of her signature figural fruit designs, hand-assembled from thousands of tiny crystals over a cast-metal frame with a hidden clasp and chain.
