An extraordinary Dior Diorchester Lily of the Valley Statement Bracelet from Dior’s Pre-Fall 2010 costume jewellery collection. Created by Camille Miceli during John Galliano’s creative direction at the house. A sculptural interpretation of Christian Dior’s beloved lily of the valley, its abundant cones gather around the wrist in bronze, brown and buttery gold. Unexpected and unapologetic, this is wearable art from a remarkable period at Dior.
The cones vary in size and finish, some with dark, glossy interiors, others filled with translucent material and resembling little pools of glass, drawing the eye into the depth of each cone. The effect is mesmerising, particularly as the bracelet moves and the light shifts. Polished, faceted tops punctuate the cluster, echoed in the magnificent, oversized CD logo clasp, signed “Dior” on its smooth gold-plated reverse.
The weight is astonishing, a bracelet made with an extravagance that feels entirely at home in Galliano’s Dior. There is nothing tentative about it: the sheer volume of cones, the depth of the golden pools, the deep enamelling and the scale of the clasp show a willingness to take the design to extraordinary lengths. That commitment is part of its appeal, a jewel with the presence and ambition of couture.
With pieces from her personal archive showcased at the Victoria & Albert Museum’s acclaimed Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition, Jennifer is recognised as a leading expert in vintage Dior jewellery. Her thoughtfully curated collection – including this exquisite piece – spans seven decades of Dior heritage, offering timeless elegance and a rare opportunity to own a piece of Dior fashion history.
Why this piece: An important archival Dior design with imagination and craftsmanship to match its scale. The transformation of Christian Dior’s delicate lily-of-the-valley flowers into such a bold jewel is the real delight, with luminous golden pools and a glorious CD clasp adding to its appeal. Pure heritage drama and true wearable art for the wrist.

Vintage costume jewellery is delicate and requires special care and attention.
To preserve its continued beauty and condition, it is important to keep your item boxed and protected from other jewellery when not being worn and away from liquids including perfume and hairspray. Items are typically most suited to occasional rather than constant wear.
Your order will include our care card suggesting ways to maintain the condition of your jewellery.
We cannot be held liable for any damages incurred after the receipt of products.
Additional Care Tips:
Avoid contact with liquids or humidity including sprays such as water, perfume or hairspray and creams. Exposing jewellery to wet or damp could harm the metal and reduce the life of the plating, as well as cause discolouration and/or loss of stones. Remove jewellery before washing hands, swimming etc.
Store your jewellery in the original packaging or a soft pouch to avoid scratches.
Add your jewellery last when dressing and remove before undressing. Avoid sleeping in your jewellery.
Avoid hard contact (i.e. dropping or knocking against objects) that can cause scratches or chips.
We are always happy to advise on the care specifics of a particular piece you may be considering.
