“DIOR” 2021-22AW Dior Dream rabbit clock motif sculptural ring

From DIOR, which has brought forth an entirely new kind of beauty to women’s attire through graceful forms and boundless imagination since the New Look of 1947, we are delighted to introduce a playful piece that encapsulates the Maison’s rich sense of storytelling and bold decorative allure.

As if you had captured a scene from an old picture book right in your fingertips, this enchanting piece features a small clock dial placed within a decoration that resembles a gold-colored picture frame—while a sculpted rabbit figure is brought to life just in front of it, creating an irresistibly fantastical world.

On the front, a glossy dark black surface spreads across the design. At the top, a round dial is finished with delicate minute markings and intricate needle motifs, offering a curious sensation as though you were gazing at a finely detailed timepiece. The gold edging creates a striking contrast against the black background, bringing clear depth even within a limited surface area. Though it is a small piece of jewelry, it exudes a presence that naturally draws the eye.

The frame surrounding the clock is intricately rendered with layered, plant-like decorations and swirling reliefs. The result is a rich expression reminiscent of antique picture frames and interior ornamentation from palaces. Because the surface varies in height and catches the light, the shadows and highlights of the sculpture stand out clearly, allowing you to enjoy a variety of expressions depending on the viewing angle—an especially appealing aspect.

Particularly remarkable is the composition in which the curves of the frame that widen toward the four corners coexist with the clock’s circular form, which draws the eye toward the center. By pairing the angular outer border with the round clock—and layering the organic outline of the rabbit—geometric order and free movement come together, conveying a level of finish that feels like a small stage prop, even though it is, undeniably, a piece of jewelry.

Even more captivating is the small rabbit motif that emerges from the lower portion of the frame. Its long ears and shapes reminiscent of clothing are rendered in three dimensions, giving it the air of a character stepping out from within the story. When viewed from the side, you can see that parts of the rabbit’s body and arm extend outward from the frame; this sculptural depth, distinct from a flat motif, gives the ring a special individuality.

And don’t overlook the contrast between the top portion where the decorations gather and the comparatively streamlined ring band that wraps around the finger. While the bold decorative elements take center stage from the front, the outlines of the motifs become especially prominent when viewed from the side. With every movement of your hand, the piece’s expression shifts, making the act of wearing the accessory itself something to enjoy.

Additionally, the top of the ring stands higher relative to the band. When worn, the form places a small sculpture against the back of the hand. Because the voluminous top carries the impression, you can draw attention to your fingertips without piling on additional ornamentation—making this design’s charm stand out even more with simpler styling.

This design is positioned within the Dior Dream series for 2021 to 2022. In the Autumn/Winter 2021-22 collection of the same period, Maria Grazia Chiuri drew inspiration from a world of fairy tales, blending childhood imagination with contemporary elegance. The design that combines the clock and the rabbit resonates with story-like elements reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, expressing the collection’s theme from that time in a small “stage” at your fingertips.

The added value unique to this piece lies in how motifs that symbolize time and storytelling are assembled as finely crafted decorations, naturally stimulating the viewer’s imagination. The clock motif evokes the passage of time, while the rabbit brings to mind curiosity and the beginning of an adventure. Enclosed within a brilliant gold frame, they impart a charm that goes beyond mere jewelry—like a small objet d’art.

With its color palette centered on gold and black, you can enjoy a calm sophistication that harmonizes with classic styling alongside the kind of dazzling radiance you expect from fine jewelry. We also love that you can naturally incorporate the eye-catching motifs into mature, adult looks. Designed as though it holds a small story known only to the person who wears it, it is especially recommended for those who want to take pride in their own preferences down to the details.

For styling, pairing a polished tailored jacket with slacks allows you to add just the right touch of playfulness to a classic stance. Alternatively, wearing it with a simple shirt or a flowing dress highlights the ring’s three-dimensional presence at your fingertips while finishing a look that combines mode and elegance. This is truly a piece you can enjoy for a long time—particularly for anyone who wants to subtly express their individuality through their outfit, regardless of gender.

We invite you to discover this opportunity.
