Gilt metal, coloured glass cabuchon and paste earrings, Christian Dior, 1967.

About the Item

Exquisite and very glamourous 'cluster' domed earrings made by Henkel and Grosse for Christian Dior. Tiny gilt metal florettes or crosses form a domed earring, each studded with a ruby paste at the centre, supporting paste jade and blue chrysoprase cabuchons, set at intervals across the earring. Timeless in their design, they also a wonderful token of Dior heritage and style. 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 in 1947. 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 of this couture house, jewellery played a very prominent part in his collections, initially recalling brighter and more romantic times, for example, 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. Yves Saint Laurent , followed by Marc Bohan, continued the unique style pioneered by Christian Dior after his death. The fashion house goes from strength to strength today, with the wonderful visionary Maria Grazia Chiuri at the helm.
