Christian Dior Cream Enamel Suite

Three pieces built on the same idea: a sweep of cream enamel interrupted by a fan of crystal, some pavé set, some channel set, so the light breaks differently across each band. The necklace carries it as a collar with a flat woven chain. The bracelet is tubogas, the ribbed expanding coil that slides on without a clasp. The earrings repeat the motif in miniature, clip fitting.

Made by Henkel & Grossé, the German house that produced Dior's costume jewellery under licence from 1955. Finished in 22K gold plating.

The cream reads warmer than white and sits well against both gold and skin, which is what makes a suite like this wearable rather than ceremonial.

One set only. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Care: enamel scratches. Store the pieces apart from each other and away from perfume. Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
