Large coloured, aurora borealis paste 'cluster' earrings, Christian Dior, 1959
About the Item
A stunning and highly collectable pair of 'cluster' earrings by Christian Dior from 1959, true examples from when Yves Saint Laurent was at the helm of the couture house, the successor to Dior himself. Using the best Austrian crystal pastes, and including 'aurora borealis' pastes, a signature of Dior haute couture jewellery.
These would be a welcome addition to any collection, or a very striking addition to any wardrobe.
Christian Dior was born into a wealthy family in 1905, being raised in the Normandy seaside town of Granville. Working first for Robert Piguet and then for Lucien Lelong as a head designer, during the war years, he then opened his own couture house. His now highly celebrated and iconic first collection ‘Corolle’ caused a sensation, and is now known by its more famous name ‘New Look’. From the very beginning in 1947, jewellery played a very prominent part in his collections, initially recalling the pomp and grandeur of the 18th century , its femininity and glamour, and later moving into extravagant experiments with Austrian stones and paste, throughout the late 1950s until the 1970s.
