Brand: Christian Dior Period/Year: 1970s Style: Mystical elegance – for women who want to add a mysterious edge to their look. These earrings are sensual, daring and yet stylishly understated. Materials: Gilt metal and a black glass cabochon – the black cabochon catches the light subtly and contrasts beautifully with the rich texture of the gold-tone metal. Design: A domed cabochon in black glass takes centre stage, embraced by a sculptural, ribbed golden frame reminiscent of Art Deco and Egyptian influences. The finish is luxurious and distinctive. Clasp: Clip fastening – comfortable to wear with no piercing required. The sturdy clip keeps them securely in place, even with movement. Signed Christian Dior was an influential French fashion designer, known for elegant and innovative designs that left a lasting mark on the fashion world. Alongside his iconic haute couture, bijoux – costume jewellery – played a crucial role within his fashion house. Dior regarded jewellery not as an afterthought but as an indispensable extension of his clothing designs. From the very beginning of the house in 1947, Dior understood that accessories could elevate and complete an outfit. His jewellery line was designed with the same attention to detail and refinement as his couture. Each piece was meant to empower the wearer, complete her look and radiate a sense of luxury and femininity. Dior's vintage jewellery from the 1950s, '60s and '70s is renowned for its richness and artisanal quality. Pieces were often generously executed with faux pearls, sparkling Swarovski crystals, gilt brass or bronze, and refined enamel techniques. Typical themes included flowers, leaves, insects, stars, suns and baroque scrolls, referencing nature and romance – both key sources of inspiration for Dior.
