An animal motif to be
found regularly among
Dior Joaillerie’s creations
is the leopard. The Mitzah
rings, formed out of a curled
leopard’s paw is a nod to
Mitzah Bricard, the French
fashion icon who was
Monsieur Dior’s muse—it was
said that she would always
wear a leopard-print scarf
around her wrist.
A Positive Sign
De Castellane’s sense of
quirk is cleverly applied to
2015’s Oui collection, where
the French word for “yes” is
literally spelt out on earrings,
rings and necklaces. While it
can represent a multitude of
meanings to different people,
the collection was designed
as a fun way to say “yes” to
a loved one.
Symbol of Beauty
This year, de Castellane pays homage to
Monsieur Dior’s passion for the rose with
La Rose Dior, a collection of jewellery made
up of the Bois de Rose (above), Rose Dior
Bagatelle and Rose Dior Pré Catelan series.Lovely Lace
In 2018, Dior Joaillerie took inspiration from
the fashion codes of the house with the
Dior Dior Dior high jewellery pieces, many of
which take their shapes from ribbons and lace.
Multiple cuts such as baguette, square, and marquise
are used for the Gem Dior pieces with the stones set
