TEN years after her magical Bal des Roses collection, Victoire de Castellane has created a new high jewellery collection dedicated to the romantic flower, with 54 dazzling RoseDior pieces made with exquisite fine gemstones.
De Castellane, Artistic Director of Dior Joaillerie, draws inspiration from Monsieur Dior’s favourite flower and his childhood rose garden in Granville, Normandy, that his mother once tended.
With an emphasis on vibrancy and texture, De Castellane has reimagined the beloved flower through timeless jewels and transformable styles. A pink gold necklace with yellow gold leaves unclips to become a brooch, while a diamond rivière necklace adorned with a ruby flower effortlessly transforms into a bracelet.
Elsewhere, the Artistic Director mirrors the changing tones of the delicate flower, from the bud picked in the morning to petals in full bloom in the evening. An ultramarine-blue Madagascar sapphire weighing over 8 carats sits atop a white gold stem sprinkled with briolette diamond dewdrops, appearing alongside a lagoon-blue Paraïba tourmaline that punctuates a Y-shaped necklace.
Unveiled at Dior’s new Rue Saint Honoré flagship, De Castellane’s new RoseDior high jewellery collection is a masterful tribute to the House’s founder that dazzles with the timeless elegance of the world’s most spectacular jewels.
