Description & History
This vintage Christian Dior necklace is a piece of timelessly elegant couture jewelry — the round gold-plated medallion, with its deep black enamel background and raised gold cursive CD monogram, evokes the grand medals and seal stamps of French jewelry tradition, reinterpreted in the formal vocabulary of the house of Dior.
The use of black enamel in vintage Dior jewelry is one of the house's most recognizable and sought-after signatures — Dior pieces from the 1970s and 1980s in black enamel are now among the most prized by collectors, and their value continues to rise in the secondary market. The contrast between the matte black background and the shiny gold metal creates a graphically sophisticated simplicity, perfectly in line with Christian Dior's DNA, who loved to combine architectural rigor with ornamental femininity.
The twisted rope chain — a goldsmithing technique consisting of twisting metal wires to create a braided-looking chain — is one of the most characteristic chains of Dior jewelry from this era, produced in the Henkel & Grosse workshops in Pforzheim. It gives the necklace a supple movement and an elegant lightness that contrasts with the volume of the medallion. The extension chain allows the length to be adjusted between 38 and 44 cm to fit all necklines.
In very good overall condition for a vintage piece, the gold plating is uniform and the black enamel is intact — this is often the first point of fragility on antique jewelry, and its good preservation here is a testament to quality. The double Dior hallmark — on the back of the pendant and on the charm of the clasp — attests to its unequivocal authenticity. Sold with Rarr Vintage box — a beautiful piece of Dior couture jewelry to wear without hesitation.
