The story behind: Christian Dior Vintage Jewellery by Mitchel Maer 1952-1956

Mitchel Maer was an American born, costume jewellery mastermind and he lived in London, UK. His work was often inspired by Victorian designs and many of which featured faux pearls and semi-precious stones, such as citrines and peridots. Although no longer producing jewellery, his work still catches the eyes of many, including the prestigious Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum in London. A wonderful Unicorn brooch designed by Maer featured there in the summer of 2022. His talent caught the eye of Christian Dior in the early 1950s and Maer began producing jewellery for the house in 1952. Maer’s time at Dior was notable but short. In 1956, Maer’s company was declared bankrupt and took it into voluntary liquidation. Maer took most of his remaining stock into an auction. Mr Dior then insisted that the original ‘CHRISTIAN DIOR BY MITCHEL MAER’ oval plaques be removed before the jewellery was sold. Christian Dior by Mitchel Maer jewellery is hard to find, but those ones that still have the original oval plaques are an even rarer find. Chelsea Vintage Couture team was extremely lucky to receive this stunning brooch from a private collector and it is the only one of its kind with its original oval plaque.
