Christian Dior was an influential French fashion designer, renowned for his elegant and innovative designs that left a lasting mark on the world of fashion. 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 was meant to enhance the woman, complete her appearance 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 lavishly executed with faux 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.
