About the Item

A rare and highly collectable necklace from 1962, made by Henkel and Grosse for Christian Dior. Composed of unique assorted shaped, opaque and clear pastes, set in a haphazard, organic design, interspersed with glass pearls, at the front, it then forms a regular pattern as it progresses to the clasp. All stones are individually and hand set in gilt metal. The necklace is signed and dated on a cartouche to the reverse of the clasp, as were all Dior pieces from 1958 onwards. This necklace would have been one of the first creations under Marc Bohan, who succeeded a very young Yves Saint Laurent as head of the house of Dior. when worn, if paired and matched carefully and thoughtfully , this would look sensational, drawing admiration and praise. 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. Christian Dior jewellery is of the most dynamic and high quality created in the field of costume jewellery.
