A Délicat high jewellery collection from Dior
To apply the principles of haute couture to jewellery, celebrating and reinterpreting Dior’s heritage in a profusion of stones of varying sizes and colours. Such is the ambition of Victoire de Castellane, who deploys her singular aesthetic in an exclusive unprecedented collection entitled Dior Délicat
A dreamlike odyssey in which the pieces emulate the delicacy of embroidery. Like the Petites Mains of the Ateliers crafting fabric, the Artistic Director of Dior Joaillerie unites the motifs of the Galons Dior line with the elegance of Dearest Dior, embellishing each element in a different manner to bring new, exceptional creations to life.
Infinitely combinable, they follow and sublimate the curves of the body like couture garments, intersecting, intertwining, overlapping, mingling, and parting. With the finesse and lightness of lace, the settings seem to fade into the background, allowing rubies, emeralds, blue sapphires, rubellites and tanzanites to reveal their bold hues in complex compositions that reflect the savoir-faire cherished by Dior.
In an entrancing interplay of geometry and asymmetry, the jewels perfectly embrace the contours of the hand, wrist, and neck, as if laid directly on the skin. A subtle tribute to Monsieur Dior’s passion for nature and botany, a white gold set – featuring a necklace, a cuff bracelet, a double ring, and a pair of earrings – is punctuated with pique diamonds evoking vegetal details.
A plural ode to the House’s legacy and the virtuosity of its artisans, translated through seventy-nine models; objects of desire magnified by gems in vibrant tones, inviting numerous associations. So many expressions of multi-faceted femininity, at once fragile and powerful, graceful, and assertive.
