"Christian Dior" 70's Textured gold tone brooch

"Christian Dior"

70s gold-tone openwork brooch

Since our founding, we have upheld a refined sense of beauty centered on elegance—carrying it forward from couture to accessories. From Christian Dior, we present this standout piece featuring design with exceptional sculptural allure.

Based on the inscriptions “Chr.Dior” and “GERMANY” visible on the reverse, as well as the absence of any modern quality markings or codes, we sense a background as license-based German-style costume jewelry. We would like you to consider this piece as a vintage item from around the 1970s.

The oval openwork form is shaped with rounded contours while incorporating an organic flow within them. On the surface, linear brush-texture detailing is applied in a dimensional, raised manner. As a result, depending on the angle at which it catches the light, the shine of the gold tone subtly shimmers, delivering a restrained yet unmistakable presence.

As no material stamp can be confirmed, we introduce this as costume jewelry using gold-colored plated metal rather than precious metal. However, that only further highlights the completeness of the design itself, creating a finish that makes both the splendor of jewelry and the light, decorative character typical of vintage accessories easy to incorporate into everyday attire.

The reverse features a pin-style brooch clasp and a safety catch that appears to be rotating. This adds to its appeal—not only for securing on a jacket lapel, at the chest of a coat, or as a scarf clasp, but also when attached to a bag, where it brings classic depth to your overall look.

Regarding the era, since there is no year inscription or catalog cross-referencing to verify it precisely, we cannot make a definitive single-year determination. Nevertheless, the combination of the small “Chr.Dior” plate stamp and the “GERMANY” notation, along with the look and presence of the design and hardware, aligns with the physical characteristics commonly seen in Dior costume jewelry from the late 1960s through the 1970s. Therefore, at our shop, we present this as an estimated piece from around the 1970s.

As a MOOD, it is recommended for those who want to tighten the overall look not by relying solely on showiness, but through texture and form. Simply adding it to a minimal black jacket or wool coat lends a quiet, luxurious note to everyday styling—truly a remarkable piece.

This brooch allows you to incorporate a tasteful, elegantly radiant Dior vintage spirit into your own wardrobe with ease. Please take this opportunity.
