Vintage Christian Dior Rhinestone Floral Parure Necklace Earring Brooch Set 50’s

Exceptional Vintage Christian Dior Rhinestone Floral Parure Necklace, Earrings & Brooch c.1958–62 – Complete with Original Box & Pouch

An exceptional and complete mid-century floral parure by Christian Dior, dating to the late 1950s / early 1960s — a period synonymous with Dior’s iconic “New Look” elegance.

This beautiful three-piece demi-parure comprises a statement necklace, matching clip-on earrings, and a dimensional floral brooch, all designed in a richly layered botanical style. The set is further enhanced by the rare survival of its original Dior presentation box and satin pouch, together with a charming period handwritten gift inscription, adding both authenticity and provenance.

Design & Craftsmanship

• A vibrant combination of Aurora Borealis (AB), cerise pink, emerald green and champagne-toned rhinestones, all hand-set for maximum brilliance

Final Note

A highly decorative and wearable example of mid-century Dior costume jewellery — equally suited to collectors or as a statement ensemble. Complete sets of this calibre, especially with original packaging, are becoming increasingly difficult to source.

The handwritten text on the box identifies the contents as a gift for a woman named Elsie Mantaly. It says:FOR ELSIE MANTALY

ON HER BIRTHDAY By the late French Designer Christian DiorOn the right side, it also lists the individual pieces included in the set:necklace

• & clip Ear Rings
• B - - Broach (followed by additional faded or shorthand notes)

The reference to "the late French Designer" is a key historical clue, as it implies this gift was likely given sometime after Christian Dior's death in 1957
