Christian Dior’s enduring influence continues to shape the House’s fine jewellery, with Artistic Director Victoire de Castellane presenting the new Diorexquis Haute Joaillerie collection for 2025.
Since 1999, de Castellane has led Dior Joaillerie, interpreting the couturier’s legacy through intricate and imaginative creations.
The Diorexquis line by Artistic Director Victoire de Castellane draws on three long-standing themes central to Dior’s identity: enchanting landscapes, delicate bouquets and grand galas. The pieces depict nature’s changing beauty and the splendour of lavish celebrations in a series of detailed, gemstone-rich tableaus. The designs follow the rhythm of the seasons, moving from winter’s icy purity to spring’s floral abundance, and into the bright joy of summer days.
The collection features an interplay of volumes and layers of gemstones, set against mineral backdrops edged with diamonds. Each creation in the Diorexquis collection is the result of meticulous work by the House’s ateliers, combining technical mastery with artistic vision. The line pays tribute to Dior’s fascination with the natural world and the elegance of celebration, offering a modern interpretation of his timeless inspirations.
The pieces showcase Dior’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship. The “opale doublet” technique, which layers opal over onyx or mother-of-pearl, creates monochromes reminiscent of the sky or water’s shifting hues. This method requires precise and expert handling to achieve the intended visual effect.
Another signature technique, plique-à-jour, brings light through transparent enamel in the manner of miniature stained glass. Dior Joaillerie applies its distinctive lacquer work to produce clusters of vivid colour that intensify the play of light.

The Diorexquis Haute Joaillerie collection stands as both a homage to dreams and a demonstration of the expertise that defines Dior’s place in contemporary fine jewellery.
