Finally, a third, more celestial realm captivates with shining suns, mesmerizing eclipses and‘ happy’ clouds, forming unexpected combinations of gemstones.
Necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, earcuffs and brooches – a collection of 141 creations, 112 of which were presented in the first chapter – offer vibrant compositions, highlighting the depth of tones through sparkling associations. A bold creative freedom aglow with fanciful opulence.
Testifying to the Ateliers’ unparalleled savoir-faire, these objects of desire have been crafted using the‘ doublet’ technique. This involves layering one thin stone over another – such as opal over chrysoprase – to bring out subtly hued gradations. A succession of expert gestures executed with remarkable precision that brings
Victoire de Castellane’ s vision to life. Emblematic of Dior Joaillerie, lacquer conveys the quest for excellence whilst enhancing chromatic intensity. Delicately worked, intricately alternating opacity and transparency, it captures the light and enhances the pieces with marvelously hued variations shimmering in the background.
The very essence of the Dior dream.
