High jewelry masterpieces


The stone skulls are made in one-piece carved stones and give their name to each jewel: jade for “Reine de Jadélénie” ring, opal for “Roi d’Opalie” pendant, jasper for “Reine de Jaspe” ring, black quartz for “Roi de Quatrz noir” pendant, chalcedony for Reine de Calcédonia” ring,…
Dior Joaillerie ateliers have recovered ancient setting techniques to perform the astonishing crowns, ruffs and parures of each royal character.
