Asymmetric earrings, open-ended rings, bold colors: Diorama precieuse, the new capsule collection by Dior, taps into fashion for just two models, available in three different metals. The inspiration comes from far away, however: the namesake collection in 1951 designed by Christian Dior. Victoire de Castellane, creative director of Christian Dior’s fine jewelery division, is carrying on fusion couture. So, after the triumph of folds, drapes and pleats made of gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and all other colored gemstones of stunning ArchiDior, the fine jewelry line launched last year, and after the romantic bows of Caprice line, here the twisted ribbons, like the belts that decorated the large Diorama gowns. Six pieces much more wearable, but no less precious given that in yellow gold version are bursting with a shimmering emerald pear cut and faceted amethyst, while the white gold one is teamed with crystalline aquamarine and colorless diamonds, which instead, are mismatched to a powder pink morganite in a rose gold setting. If you’re impatient to discover this new collection will have to wait until may when it will be available in a few, selected boutiques. Matilde de Bounvilles
