Christian Dior was an influential French fashion designer, celebrated for his elegant and innovative creations. Beyond his iconic haute couture, bijoux (costume jewelry) played a key role in his fashion house.

Dior understood that accessories were essential to the overall presentation of an outfit. He introduced bijoux to enhance and complete his designs.

His costume jewelry was often lavish and intricate, marked by the use of imitation pearls, crystals, and gold-plated metals. The designs were frequently inspired by nature, with floral motifs and organic shapes.

Dior’s jewelry utilized various techniques, including gilding, enameling, and crystal setting, all contributing to the luxurious finish of the pieces.

He collaborated with gifted jewelry designers like Mitchel Maer and Robert Goossens, leading to iconic creations that remain both innovative and timeless.
