Christian Dior by Mitchel Maer 1952-1956 Vintage Rhinestone and Pearl Necklace
About the Item
This beautiful and rare necklace was created by Mitchel Maer for Christian Dior between 1952 and 1956.
Condition Report:
Very Good - A faint hint of oxidisation to one link, a tiny element of ‘smokiness’ to the tip of one teardrop stone and behind one round stone, the tiniest scuff on one pearl. These elements are only visible upon very close examination. They do not detract from the appeal and rarity of the piece.
The Details...
This necklace is constructed from old gold plated metal. It is detailed with colourless round and large teardrop shaped rhinestones, which are multi-faceted and claw set. The necklace also features faux pearls too. The necklace fastens with an 'S' clasp and an open link chain. It features a safety chain too. The necklace is adjustable in length - measuring 42cm at its shortest and 50cm at its longest length. It is signed - an oval cartouche, stamped with 'CHRISTIAN DIOR BY MITCHEL MAER', can be found on the reverse of the 'S' clasp.
A Short History...
This necklace can be dated to the 1950s, as the London based designer Mitchel Maer produced jewellery for the House of Dior between 1952 and 1956. His bold rhinestone creations for the house were popular, as they particularly complimented the couture evening wear designed by Dior during the decade. Today, they are most collectable because they were created during Christian Dior's lifetime. Also, Maer's designs for Dior are scarce because he only produced pieces for the house over a period of 5 years.
Wear it With...
The rhinestones in this piece sparkle so brightly - making it the perfect formal wear accompaniment.

- Van Cleef & Arpels 30cts Diamond Ceylon Sapphire Necklace in 18 Karat GoldBy Van Cleef & ArpelsLocated in Dallas, TXVan Cleef & Arpels dazzling collar necklace bursting with brilliance of approximately 19 carats of finest white diamonds which are complemented by 11 carats of vividly-colored blue and yellow Ceylon sapphires (GIA certified), all masterfully set in 18 karat yellow gold. The necklace is designed as a seamless series of thirty-two gold panels, each with a gracefully scalloped outer edge and pavé-set with brilliant-cut round diamonds. Each of the seven center-front panels is embellished by a large pear-shaped sapphire of richly saturated hue, alternating between yellow and blue colored sapphires. The panels gently curve from their inner to outer edge, giving maximum exposure to impeccably set diamonds and resulting in exceptional overall brilliance. The sapphires add just the right amount of uniqueness and intrigue to this elegant design. Van Cleef expertly uses each necklace element – its scalloped silhouette, curved panels, and sparkling pave diamond surface – to create an appearance of a luminous and dressy lace collar. True to its luxurious French heritage...Category
