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.

Unsigned smoke grey and soft brown cluster earrings, Schreiner of New York 1960s
By Schreiner of New York
Located in Greyabbey, County Down
A classic design in a very elegant colour combination from Schreiner of New York - sadly these earrings are unsigned, but are a well known and popular design from the New York manufacturer of always striking and glamourous designs. The subtle combination of a soft, almost peachy, brown coupled with a smokey shade of grey make them immediately noticeable when worn, and highly wearable!
Henry Schreiner started the Schreiner Jewellery Company in 1939 and was director until his death in 1954. His daughter and son in law continued with the business until 1977. In the 1950s he made jewellery for Christian Dior.
His jewellery is very distinctive for its use of unusual mounts and subtle colour combinations, using the finest quality rhinestones and crystals. He made exceptionally glamorous belts, bib necklaces, unusually coloured baroque brooches (his signature ‘ruffle’ brooch...
