From across dripping chandeliers at the Chateau de Versailles, it is almost as if Victoire de Castellane spent a starry evening at the majestic grounds of France’s most opulent property and hand-plucked scintillating sparkles. Languidly, each jewel was transposed it into a glittering collection of earrings, rings and necklaces. The result of such an illuminating experience is reflected in Dior’s latest high jewellery collection which drew inspiration from the splendors of the Versailles.

18th-century jewelry making techniques, setting clusters of diamonds against darkened silver, rose gold, white gold, and platinum, infusing them with the same aura of mystery as in the chateau’s famed Hall of Mirrors.
