About the brand
Christian Dior began incorporating costume jewellery into his collections from the 1940s onwards, recognising its ability to transform and complete a look. He famously embraced bold, decorative pieces alongside his elegant couture.
Dior jewellery became particularly extravagant during the 1950s and 1960s, with designs featuring faux pearls, crystals, coloured glass and elaborate gold-tone metal. The pieces often reflected the glamour and femininity of Dior's fashion.
Under designers who followed, including Marc Bohan and later John Galliano, Dior jewellery continued to evolve, becoming increasingly bold and theatrical.
Today, vintage Dior costume jewellery is highly collectible, particularly pieces from the 1950s–1980s, prized for their craftsmanship, distinctive designs and unmistakable Parisian glamour.
