The 2026 collection focuses on themes of gardens and couture, featuring reinterpreted gold braid motifs that act as precious pendants and fringing.

The set features a transformable bib necklace that can be worn as a choker, and a brooch that functions as a hair accessory.
The collection also introduces the Jardins Multicolores range, featuring bright green and powder pink gemstones, alongside updates to the Dearest Dior line which now includes tanzanite.
A centrepiece of the launch is a ring featuring a 6.50-carat pink spinel solitaire, cut into a cushion shape that transitions into a floral motif.
The technical execution of the collection highlights the work of the Dior Ateliers, with a focus on articulating gold and gemstones to mimic the movement of fabrics and flowering stems.
Joaillerie Victoire de Castellane, artistic director of Dior, said: “For 2026, the collection is a celebration of femininity, the beauty of gardens and the magic of couture, combining dream and reality with elegant fringing.”
The brand added: “Braids, emblematic of Victoire de Castellane’s jewellery, are boldly reinterpreted as precious pendants that sway gracefully, recalling the motion of a flowering stem. Each stone is carefully selected and placed, revealing the virtuosity of the Ateliers and the poetry of their artisanal gestures.”
