-SPECIAL- “Christian Dior” 2017-18 AW J’Adior pearl ball ring

From Christian Dior, we are pleased to introduce the Le Trésor de Tribales ring, boldly combining the brand’s signature with a touch of playfulness.

With an ivory-colored sphere featuring a soft, lustrous sheen as the centerpiece, this exquisite piece is complemented by antique-style gold-tone metal and a three-dimensional bee motif. It is a design that reimagines classic pearl jewelry through Dior’s distinctive, graphical sensibility.

On top of the sphere, a metal part reminiscent of the J’ADIOR logo is placed, creating a finish that offers different expressions depending on the angle from which you view it alongside the bee motif. Rather than feeling like a delicate ring, it has a presence as though you are adorning a small objet directly on your fingertips—leaving a striking impression even with a simple outfit.

The ring features slim metal arms, so the hand does not appear overly heavy in relation to the volume of the top. The rounded shape of the sphere and the antique-like character of the design are thus beautifully highlighted. Fine surface scuffs and a muted metal patina can be seen; however, they harmonize with this ring’s old, specimen-like atmosphere, imparting depth that is not found in current pieces.

The Le Trésor de Tribales J’ADIOR top ring, introduced as Dior costume jewelry for the fall/winter seasons of 2017 to 2018, shares a matching composition—integrating the logo and motifs into the sphere—making it most natural to consider it as a ring developed during the Maria Grazia Chiuri period of that time. However, as individual engravings or model numbers cannot be confirmed, the date is estimated to be between 2017 and 2018.

Its appeal lies not only in the refinement of the pearls, but also in the mode-inspired impression created by rendering the bee and logo motifs in a three-dimensional way—toning down any sweetness. It is also easy to incorporate for those who would like to add a single, strong accent to everyday styling, not just dressed-up occasions.

For styling, pairing it with a simple black dress or a tailored jacket creates an elegant look that lets the sphere’s presence stand out. Incorporating it into a poised combination such as a shirt and wide slacks allows you to add Dior’s signature playfulness within a classic mood, enabling an impressive hand look regardless of gender.

A special piece that lets you enjoy even the background of the collection, it is especially recommended for those who appreciate classic jewelry yet seek design sensibility beyond the typical pearl ring.

Please take this opportunity.
