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

Dior understood that accessories were an essential part of the overall appearance of an outfit. He introduced bijoux to complement and elevate his clothing.

Dior’s bijoux were often lavish and detailed. They were characterized by the use of imitation pearls, crystals, and gold-plated metals. The designs were frequently inspired by nature, featuring floral motifs and organic shapes.

Dior’s bijoux employed a variety of techniques, such as gilding, enameling, and crystal setting. These techniques contributed to the luxurious appearance of the jewelry.

Dior collaborated with talented jewelry designers such as Mitchel Maer and Robert Goossens. These collaborations resulted in iconic pieces that were both innovative and timeless.
