Granville, the childhood home of Christian Dior

With colour playing a starring role and sparkles coming to life, Victoire de Castellane, the Creative Director of Dior Joaillerie, created twelve unique pieces. The combinations of green beryl, peridot, aquamarine, tanzanite, chrysoberyl, pink tourmaline, and rubellite were assembled and combined to create a sense of equilibrium, so that no colour dominated, and allowing each one an equal chance to shine. In the continuing spirit of paying homage to Christian Dior’s childhood in Normandy, Victoire de Castellane has also designed D de Dior ‘Granville’, nine timepieces in white, yellow or rose gold. These joyous new creations are an echo of the Granville carnival’s festive atmosphere, which coloured the couturier’s childhood, as he designed costumes for himself and his friends.
