An infinite source of inspiration, Christian Dior’s legacy and passions continue to shine forth from the heart of the House’s jewellery collections, season after season. A rich, entrancing odyssey that Victoire de Castellane has been celebrating through her creations since 1999.

This year, the Artistic Director of Dior Joaillerie has conceived an unprecedented line, with three emblematic themes that have always underpinned the Dior identity: enchanting landscapes, delicate bouquets and magical galas. A dazzling triptych, by turns conveying the couturier’s love of the plant world’s beauty and his fascination with the pageantry of tremendous festivities, in a multitude of fabulous tableaus.

Featuring a bold interplay of volumes and layers of gemstones – finely sculpted on mineral backgrounds hemmed with diamonds – the designs are like a series of extraordinary stories, magnificently portraying nature and its transformations. The jewellery thus evokes the passage of time following the rhythm of the seasons: the purity of winter, with its icy splendors flourishing in sumptuous finery; the effervescence of spring, transposed into the blossoming flora that punctuates certain ensembles; or the joy of sunny days, represented in the brilliance of the shimmering stones that adorn several scintillating sets.

An exquisite surprise, a necklace, ring and elegant earrings capture, in irresistible scenes, the magic of those fleeting moments where fantasy embrace reality.

The fruit of priceless savoir-faire, these pieces encapsulate all the virtuoso mastery of the Ateliers, exemplified in particular by the “opale doublet” technique, which consists of mounting a layer of opal on another stone – onyx or mother-of-pearl – to producing bewitching monochromes reminiscent of the complex nuances of the sky or water.

A succession of expert, exquisitely precise gestures, thanks to which Victoire de Castellane’s ingenuous inventivity is brought to life.

The plique-à-jour method takes excellence to new heights, forming clusters of a thousand sparkling colors thanks to the use of lacquer – Dior Joaillerie’s signature – working into transparency what seems like a miniature stained glass window through which light streams sublimely.

A homage to dreams, fusing exceptional expertise and spellbinding poetry.
