With the Diorama & Diorigami high jewellery collection, designed by the visionary Victoire de Castellane, Dior celebrates in two chapters the dialogue between tradition and innovation, transforming flora and fauna into timeless masterpieces. In the first chapter, Diorama, the enchanted garden of Milly-la-Forêt comes to life.
The historic toile de Jouy, a symbol of French art de vivre, is reimagined in jewellery pieces that seem to emerge from a dream. These creations narrate a poetic stroll through an enchanted garden where delicate creatures and natural details merge into breathtaking scenes.
Close your eyes and imagine a golden rabbit leaping through diamond-studded bushes, majestic swans reflected on sapphire-
adorned ponds and two owls soaring amidst branches ablaze with fiery rubies. This couture vision of nature includes deer and squirrels carved in chrysoprase, framed by foliage in yellow and rose gold and adorned with gems capturing every shade of green.
The glyptic technique, masterfully executed by Dior artisans, sculpts each precious stone, crafting enchanted landscapes reminiscent of a lost Eden. The Maison’s signature lacquer enhances the vibrant hues, from the intense green of emeralds to the delicate tones of tsavorite garnets, transforming every jewel into a tableau vivant.
The second chapter, Diorigami, is an ode to geometric poetry in jewellery, taking inspiration to new frontiers. It honours the art of origami with the precision and lightness characteristic of the
iconic Bar suit. Here, nature transforms into refined geometries: delicate paper-folded flowers become precious sculptures, while necklaces and rings celebrate sartorial artistry with pleated folds of extraordinary grace.
Iconic symbols of Dior’s design continue to enchant in Diorigami, an imaginary world populated by vibrant flora and fauna. Sets unveil an enchanted forest inhabited by animals with joyful designs, alongside necklaces, rings, and earrings adorned with delicate flowers that evoke the precision of origami.
A dreamy journey, a multifaceted tribute to the intricate wonders and timeless charm of nature, so dear to Dior’s heart. Sapphire necklaces, rings, and earrings replicate details inspired by nature: a doe hidden in a grove or swans gliding over a pearlescent pond.
Among the collection’s standout pieces are a double rose gold ring adorned with spinels, sapphires, and garnets evoking an eternal bouquet, and dazzling necklaces capturing the magic of a fairy-tale forest. Each piece is a symphony of vibrant colours and harmonious shapes, where the balance between tradition and modernity translates into a unique jewel, telling stories of beauty and wonder.
With Diorama & Diorigami, Dior reaffirms its role as a master of high jewellery, transforming precious stones and noble metals into works of art that celebrate nature and tradition—a dreamlike Eden where the savoir-faire of the Parisian Maison intertwines with the eternal enchantment of nature. Each creation is not just a jewel but a fragment of poetry to wear, a hymn to beauty that transcends time. www.dior.com
