A striking pair of Vintage Dior Poison Garnet Cuffs, with generous rows of dark red faceted garnets and ornate fittings in an antiqued bronze colour. Fastened, the strands sit together to form a broad cuff, with a beaded tassel falling from the decorative fastening. Worn one on each wrist, they make a particularly strong statement.
Away from the light, the garnets appear almost black revealing their rich red colour as the facets catch it. Openwork scrolls decorate the end fittings, with a dark faceted bead held within a decorative setting. Four smooth teardrop pendants finish each tassel, adding movement against the closely gathered rows. The warm bronze colour works beautifully with the depth of the red.
Stamped “Poison”, the cuffs are associated with Dior’s Hypnotic Poison fragrance promotion. Launched in September 1998, the fragrance was developed with John Galliano’s involvement at every major stage, bringing Dior’s fragrance and fashion worlds closer together. The campaign featured Milla Jovovich draped in red beads, including strands wound around her wrists. These cuffs echo that distinctive imagery through their abundant beadwork and falling tassels.
Why this piece: The deep red garnets, ornate fittings and connection to Dior’s Hypnotic Poison story make these cuffs a compelling find. Having a matching pair carrying a heritage story is the real appeal, with the scale and presence to wear one on each wrist.
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.

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.
