At the court of Versailles with the high jewelery by Dior, to search among its secrets ♦ ︎
Versailles is not just a destination for tourists, but a part of French culture and History, written in capital letters. And it is also culture, art, fantasy. Finally, it is also one of the topical places around which the creative fantasy of Victoire de Castellane is thickened, the refined mind from which the Dior high jewelery collections spring. Just like the collection called Dior à Versailles, pièces sècretes. And so, after the collections inspired by the royal residence of the past few years, here is the new high jewelry dedicated by the building or, better, its most secret corners.

The new Dior collection still runs through the corridors, rooms and halls of Versailles to create swiveling gemstones, concealed drawers, rings that look like miniature boxes. And then many symbols, more or less obvious, that appear (sometimes by surprise) on the jewels. In short, the third visit to Versailles of Victoire de Castellane is even richer in creative ideas. Among other things, it should be noted a novelty: the appearance of the skull motif, perhaps as a sign of the time that inexorably passes also for the vanitas, it has passed also for the court of the Sun King. Even the choice of stones recalls the era of the baroque, the stuccoes, the wigs, with spinels of an almost iridescent color, a rare lilac tanzanite, powder pink sapphires. To wear while listening to Rameau. Giulia Netrese
