Dior has announced the launch of its Diorexquis Haute Joaillerie collection, inspired by Christian Dior’s legacy.
The artistic director of Dior Joaillerie has designed a line, with three themes; enchanting landscapes, delicate bouquets and magical galas and three pieces; a necklace, ring and earrings.
Featuring an interplay of volumes and layers of gemstones, finely sculpted on mineral backgrounds hemmed with diamonds, the designs are described as a “series of extraordinary stories”.
The pieces include the “opale doublet” technique, which consists of mounting a layer of opal on another stone, an onyx or mother-of-pearl.
Furthermore, the plique-à-jour method forms clusters of a thousand sparkling colors thanks to the use of lacquer, Dior Joaillerie’s signature, working into transparency.
The brand stated: “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. A homage to dreams, fusing exceptional expertise and spellbinding poetry.”
