I started swooning over the Christian Dior “Mise en Dior” double-sided pearl earrings (seen above) when they hit the market last year but couldn’t decide if they were worth the price tag.

I started swooning the moment I saw these animated photos taken by Jeffrey Lewis Bennett. He’s a traditional wedding photographer who takes incredible photos but something about the subtle movement in these animated images makes them so special. They are a stunning marriage of art and technology.
