Christian Dior by Grosse 1958 Gilded Metal Braided Choker Necklace
Located in Atlanta, GA
This stunning Christian Dior choker necklace was created and manufactured by Grosse in 1958. This piece was crafted by Henkel & Grosse for Christian Dior for their 1958 collections when Marc Bohan was Head Designer of the House. The choker boasts a gilded metal multi-chain pattern embellished with an intricate braided lace design and a central dangling pendant. The locking mechanism of the box is delicate and precious, having a clasp that slides to open and close it. The necklace is marked on the underside with two tiny gilded tags that read Grosse © - 1958 and the CD logo.
The necklace is in good condition for its age, with a minor discoloration on the metal.
Measurements: 15.38 in total length (39 cm) - width is 0.63 in wide (1.5 cm) - the central pendant is 2.63 in long (6.7 cm).
Note: about Grosse
1907
At the famous goldsmith town of Pforzheim in Germany, Heinrich Henkel and his brother-in-law, Florentin Grosse, established Süddeutsche Gold-und Harrbijouterie-Fabrik Heinrich Henkel und Co (South-German Gold and Hair Jeweller) specialized in producing jewelry and watch chain made of woven and plaited hair.
1920s
Grosse introduced state-of-the-art modernist design and manufactured avant-garde costume jewelry that combined art and technology. This new design-driven costume jewelry received immense critical acclaim, drawing attention and interest from major houses, such as Lanvin and Chanel.
1930s
The company has proposed a series of jewels in the shape of colorful flowers, taking up the symmetry present in Art Deco. New technical innovations, such as processing synthetic lacquers, were implemented. In 1930, well-known designer Elsa Schiaparelli (1890-1973) had a fascination for these floral jewels. Grossé produced a series of pieces for her, including red flower necklaces...

Vintage Choker Necklaces
Vintage choker necklaces are elegant, alluring and stylish. Cameos, pearls, diamonds and other stones can decorate these necklaces, which come in single or multiple strands. Whether it is a statement piece or a delicate chain, these short necklaces always stand out and turn heads.
The history of the choker can be traced back thousands of years, with Sumerian examples discovered from 2600–2500 B.C. They endured as a popular form of adornment through the centuries, and during the French Revolution they took on a symbolic significance. Women wore ribbons around their throats to mark the passing of those killed by the guillotine. Soon, the plain ribbons were adorned with small cameos and other ornamentation.
European choker necklaces gained a salacious reputation in the 19th century when prostitutes were associated with black ribbons tied around the neck, such as the model in Édouard Manet’s Olympia (1863). Queen Alexandra, Princess of Wales, reversed the trend in the late 19th century by wearing a large pearl and diamond choker, reputedly to hide a scar.
Fashioned from gold, pearls and other precious stones and metals, chokers continued to be worn into the 20th century, alternately statements of wealth and rebellion. They experienced periods of revival in the 1920s, ’40s, ’70s and ’90s for both men and women.
Vintage chokers make a statement with an unmistakable air of femininity. On 1stDibs, find an alluring collection of vintage chokers today, including gold, sapphire and emerald chokers.
