A Christian Dior oval crystal necklace. Gold tone. Chain length 44 cm. Pendant size 1.0 x 1.6 cm. Christian Dior believed that jewellery was as much a part of fashion as clothing. Dior's jewellery was designed in detail for each of his collections, not as a discreet finishing touch, but rather as a statement, without worry of undermining the clothing. The French fashion house was one of the elite labels who helped bring costume jewellery mainstream.
