Welcome to Planet Dior, a world the place the Home of Dior pays homage to the Queen of Flowers — in the most lavish approach. The inventive mastermind behind this unexplored world is Victoire de Castellane, creative director of Dior Joaillerie for over 20 years. Aptly named Dior Rose, the excessive jewelry assortment is impressed by the Home’s historic dwelling at 30 Avenue  Montaigne.

The 116-piece jewelry assortment is the largest up to now for Dior, and de Castellane has spilt the bijoux into 4 chapters. Every parure is a reimagination and reinterpretation of the colors of the rose. The 4 chapters are: the romantic rose, the stained-glass rose, the futuristic rose and the summary couture rose.

Encrusting the stylised rose are diamonds that nearly make the items seem pixelated, intertwining the romance of the rose with that of sharp modernity.

The Summary Couture Rose

As its identify suggests, that is the most summary interpretation of the rose. Very similar to how couture represents the highest type of craftsmanship in trend — which Dior is famously identified for — the concept is dropped at the fore on this parure. It explores asymmetry with totally different setting heights resembling pear-cut rubies and yellow diamonds dazzle on necklaces and earrings. A kite-cut diamond provides to the geometric oddity of this department of the assortment.
