Description

We have for sale the perfect gift, a lovely pair of Christian Dior gold plated Christian Dior CD monogram clip-on earrings dating to somewhere around 1980.

These stylish and very fashionable Christian Dior earrings are of a circular gold plated domed form, with each earring decorated with six CD monograms against an attractive textures background. The earring backs are signed Chr.Dior© Germany indicating that they were manufactured for Dior by Henkel and Grossé of Pforzheim in Germany.

Henkel and Grossé acquired the licence to manufacture and distribute Jewellery for Christian Dior in 1955. This agreement continued right up until 2005, during this time Grossé produced the majority of the Dior Jewellery. Post 2005, Christian Dior took over the Henkel and Grossé factory which became Les Ateliers Bijoux GmbH in Pforzheim where Dior continued to manufacture their jewellery.

The earrings are 2.2cm in diameter and are in a very good to excellent condition with the light surface wear one would expect from well looked after Christian Dior earrings of this period.
