About the Item
A striking and elegant choker necklace, beautifully made of two different chain elements that twist, one with the other, of outstanding quality. Very classic in its design, and very classic Dior of this period, this necklace would work perfectly in the evening, and also the daytime, with a more casual relaxed look.
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.

By Christian Dior
Located in Greyabbey, County Down
A very elegant, and wearable, very long chain necklace, with mixed faux ivory and tortoiseshell links, interspersed with the twisted gilt metal links, giving a smart but relaxed feel. Made in Germany by Henkel and Grosse, the celebrated and long standing makers of much of Dior jewellery from the 1950s onwards, this has very much an everyday feel, mixing easily with day or night attire.

Yves Saint Laurent at his best!
Yves Saint Laurent was born in 1936, and became one of the 20th Century’s most famous and prolific fashion designers.
Finding himself at the head of the House of Dior, after Dior’s death, from 1957 until 1960, his first collection there certainly turned the fortunes of the couture house and launched a stellar career for himself. Accessories had always held an important place in his work, and he became highly prolific in this field, taking on certain designers, notably Loulou De La Falaise, who took charge of accessories as well as being a celebrated muse for Laurent himself.
