An exceptional vintage Christian Dior statement necklace, a striking example of the House’s bold and highly decorative costume jewelry.
This magnificent articulated collar necklace is crafted in richly textured and intricately worked gilt metal, creating an elaborate architectural composition of remarkable presence.
The necklace is lavishly embellished with an opulent arrangement of multicolored cabochons in deep jewel tones of emerald green, sapphire blue and ruby red, beautifully contrasted by luminous pearl-like accents.
At the center, an impressive openwork pendant composition is dominated by a large faceted green glass stone, surrounded by sculptural gilt metal elements and richly colored cabochons. The intricate construction and dramatic proportions give the necklace a distinctly Byzantine and Mughal-inspired aesthetic, reflecting the theatrical sophistication associated with exceptional vintage couture jewelry.
The articulated construction allows the necklace to sit elegantly around the neckline while retaining its bold, sculptural silhouette.
Signed “Chr. Dior ©” on the clasp.
