Book: Dior Joaillerie (The A to Z of Victoire de Castellane)

Dior Joaillerie offers readers an immersion into the heart of the work of the creative director, Victoire de Castellane. Drawing its inspiration from a blend of pop culture, plant motifs and couture details, her work reflects a playful world in which diamond bows are reminiscent of untied ribbons, ladybugs are lacquered and rings blossom like flowers. Multicolored opals and sapphires reinvent sea creatures while snakes, salamanders and frogs are made of rubies, sapphires and emeralds. Skulls wear crowns of diamonds and roses are adorned in beautiful ballgowns. This first work devoted to the talent of the Place Vendôme jeweler showcases the savoir-faire and aesthetics of the Dior jewelry collections. The scholarly and poetic text by jewelry historian Michèle Heuzé plunges into the world of French luxury and refinement.
