Dimensions: Length 3 cm / Width 1.2 cm Signed Christian Dior was an influential French fashion designer, known for his elegant and innovative designs that have had a lasting influence 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 fashion 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 had to enhance the woman, complete her appearance and radiate a sense of luxury and femininity. Dior's vintage jewellery from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s is known for its richness and artisanal quality. It was often lavishly executed with imitation pearls, sparkling Swarovski crystals, gilt brass or bronze and refined enamel techniques. Typical themes in the designs were flowers, leaves, insects, stars, suns and baroque scrolls, referring to nature and romance – both important sources of inspiration for Dior.
