THE DIORISSIMA HAUTE JOAILLERIE COLLECTION

Christian Dior’s ingenious creative vision is reinvented at the heart of the jewellery collections.

Since 1999, Victoire de Castellane has been exploring the poetic and narrative dimension of that

unique legacy, reinterpreting it with masterful audacity.

This year, the Artistic Director of Dior Joaillerie presents an unprecedented collection, mingling

abstraction and naturalism. A magical line named Diorissima, an homage to the House of Dior

and to Venice, La Serenissima, where it will be unveiled in May 2026.

Three extraordinary worlds emerge one after the other, successively revealing lush greenery,

aquatic depths and mysterious constellations. A dreamlike triptych that expresses the founding-

couturier’s love of the rich diversity of life – from flora to fauna –, as well as his very personal

otherworldly thinking.

Featuring a whimsical interplay of shapes, cut-outs, juxtapositions and colours among the

gemstones, these outstanding pieces celebrate the art of collage practised by Victoire de Castellane.

Fantastical cabinets of curiosities are opened: the first, luxuriantly verdant with plant life, sketches

a landscape of abundance, enhanced by clover, wisteria and bunches of fruit; the second, aquatic

and fluid, suffused with scintillating shades of blue, is inhabited by fish and coral amid seaweed

and bubbles. Finally, a third, more celestial realm captivates with shining suns, mesmerizing

eclipses and ‘happy’ clouds, forming unexpected combinations of gemstones.

Necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, earcuffs and brooches – a collection of 141 creations,

112 of which were presented in the first chapter – offer vibrant compositions, highlighting the depth

of tones through sparkling associations. A bold creative freedom aglow with fanciful opulence.

Testifying to the Ateliers’ unparalleled savoir-faire, these objects of desire have been crafted using

the ‘doublet’ technique. This involves layering one thin stone over another – such as opal over

chrysoprase – to bring out subtly hued gradations. A succession of expert gestures executed

with remarkable precision that brings Victoire de Castellane’s vision to life. Emblematic of

Dior Joaillerie, lacquer conveys the quest for excellence whilst enhancing chromatic intensity.

Delicately worked, intricately alternating opacity and transparency, it captures the light

and enhances the pieces with marvelously hued variations shimmering in the background.

The very essence of the Dior dream.
