These earrings belong to Dior’s Bijoux de couture line from the 1960s, and stand as one of the most representative examples of French costume jewelry design of the era. The cascading silhouette is composed of dozens of marquise-cut crystals arranged in dense layers, creating a sculptural play of light and volume. At the top and along the lower edge, oval and round green pâte de verre stones provide a striking contrast, their deep emerald hue serving as the focal point amid the cool brilliance of the crystals.
In its design language, the piece reflects the romantic Baroque and Neo-classical influences characteristic of Dior’s 1960s aesthetic—an expression of harmony between elegance, order, and opulence. The use of pâte de verre, a material prized in couture jewelry of the time, demonstrates the artisan’s refined mastery of color translucency and light reflection.
