Christian Dior is one of the most well known couture designers of our times. He also made costume jewelry to complement his creations on the runway. Dior started his carrier in the mid 1930s as designer for other fashion houses. He founded is own Maison Dior in 1946. Unlike many of his collegues, that designed accessories that did not distract from their clothes, Dior designed jewelry as an integral part of his collections. To safe guard the quality of his costume jewelry, he only hired well known designers. For instance Kramer of New York designed for Dior in the 1950s to cater to the American market. Stylistically the jewelry of Dior is known for the use of unusual plastics and stones. Their color and shape were deliberately artificial by look and visually very attractive. The aurora borealis rhinestones, that he designed in collaboration with Swarovski in 1955, are used in many of his designs. Most Dior pieces are signed and dated. Since 1958 his jewelry is signed with an oval plaque in which the name Christian Dior is engraved. After is sudden death in 1957 Dior costume jewelry has still been designed in his spirit for decades.
