Christian Dior was an influential French fashion designer, renowned for his elegant and groundbreaking designs. In addition to his iconic haute couture, bijoux (costume jewelry) played a significant role in his fashion house.

Dior recognized that accessories were an essential component of a complete outfit. He introduced bijoux to complement and elevate his garments.

Dior’s costume jewelry was often luxurious and intricately crafted. It was known for the use of imitation pearls, crystals, and gold-plated metals. The designs were frequently inspired by nature, featuring floral motifs and organic shapes.

These pieces employed various techniques such as gilding, enameling, and stone setting — all contributing to the luxurious appearance of the jewelry.

Dior collaborated with talented jewelry designers like Mitchel Maer and Robert Goossens, resulting in iconic pieces that remain both innovative and timeless.
