This is the first time that Victoire de Castellane has made extensive use of pearls in her jewellery at Dior. In fact, she took the designs to the next level by treating the pearls with colours in unusual shades. The collection features diamonds and gemstones cut in all shapes and sizes. It also showcases a mismatched style of earrings. “I really started with the play of colour in tie-dye”, said Castellane.
Overall, event showcased this collection along with 200 other jewels and 55 Haute Horlogerie watches from the brand’s old collections.
