A gilt metal mixed chain 'twist' necklace, Christian Dior, c1970s
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.
