Hello Kitty Pave Diamond Ring from Neiman Marcus

If I had US$4,250 (yep, that does say US$4,250) I would probably buy this Hello Kitty pave diamond ring from Neiman Marcus for it's pure kitsch factor. After all, if I had that kind of money to spend on this ring, I must have more money tucked away somewhere. However, I do not, so it's not a scenario I'll ever be in. So instead I shall just shake my head in disbelief at how this fictional cat has managed to become such a fashion statement, and an expensive one at that!...
