Why Vintage Dior Jewelry Is The Ultimate Accessory
It only takes a quick look at the runways to see that jewelry has reached an obsession-worthy level; earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces have taken 2020 by storm, and they are here to stay! Whether you are looking to elevate a minimalist outfit or add something extra to your layering look, vintage Dior jewelry might just be the answer to all your fashion prayers.
Dior jewelry pieces simply have that certain ‘Je ne sais quoi’, which never fails to make us feel at our best. In 1947, only two years after the end of World War II, Dior launched his very first collection in which he introduced his ‘New Look’, where he showcased a completely different esthetic than what had been fashionable for the past five years. The collection represented not only a parting from preceding styles, but also the beginning of a new way of viewing society. ‘New Look’ was a tribute to the old, pre-war days where women could afford to be extravagant and intentionally fashionable. It was a reawakening of affluence and luxury; jewelry was, obviously, an indispensable element of that collection. Dior’s creations made women feel elegant and sophisticated in a time that felt anything but, and still carries that power today.
With the revivalist trend of the super-loud 90’s monogram-mania, vintage Dior jewelry is more popular than ever. Dior jewelry has a great range from entry level pieces to priceless antiques. For those looking for their first piece of designer jewelry, Dior is a great place to start. You can stack the classic oblique design logo necklace with a timeless nameplate charm and add an emblematic chunky chain to master the next-level over-the-top logo love, or pair a delicate set of ‘CD’ studs with a discreet bracelet for a more classic and subtle look. Whether you pick a more timeless paired back style or a statement piece, wear it proudly and dare show off your new piece in a post. After all, it was Dior himself who wanted women to carry his name with style. You can shop vintage Dior jewelry for yourself or a loved one via the Vintage Bar here.
