The Story Behind: In 1947 Christian Dior launched his ‘New Look’ designs and the fashion House of Dior was born. His designs were characterised by a very feminine silhouette, featuring narrow waisted dresses with full skirts.  Dior was among the first fashion designers to create jewellery as an integral part of his fashion collections. His jewellery was designed with each look in mind and complimented the clothes. The first Dior jewellery collection was created by famed French ‘Parurier’, Maison Gripoix and in 1948 the collections were created by other companies under licence.

Dior was fond of flowers and especially fond of lily of the valley, floral themes often found their way into his jewellery designs. Flowers were formed from plated metal, poured glass and frequently sprayed with Austrian crystals. Notably, in the 1950s, Dior worked with the Swarovski Crystal company to develop a new coating which when applied to their crystals would give an iridescent effect. They named it Aurora Borealis after the colour changing Northern Lights.
