“Christian Dior” 70’s-80’s sculptural hammered oval clip-on earrings

From Christian Dior, founded in Paris in 1946, which has brought new value to women’s attire through an exquisite silhouette and outstanding decorative artistry, we are pleased to present this jewel of sculptural design.

Crafted in a vertical oval form with gold-colored metal to create a three-dimensional silhouette, this exceptional piece features a dome with fine hammered texture at the center and a granular border trim. By blending classic decorative beauty into a strong sense of presence, it achieves a distinctly commanding character.

The central portion forms a gently raised dome, and because the finely hammered texture is not uniform, it captures light in complex ways, creating a softer glow unlike a mirror finish. Depending on the viewing angle and the intensity of the light, subtle shadows shift; even though it is a single-tone gold, you can enjoy a rich, expressive look.

Around the central face with hammered texture, a smooth band-like border is provided, and furthermore, by continuing small hemispherical decorations along the outer edge, the oval silhouette is emphasized again and again. The charm lies in how the piece maintains an elegant character through a symmetrical, well-balanced composition—combining granular detailing reminiscent of antique jewelry with bold volume.

Designed with a bold size that fully covers the area around the ear, it does not show the hardware from the front; only the sculptural surface emerges. Unlike a moving, dangling type, it catches the light at a fixed position around the face, adding a clear outline and a touch of radiance to your profile.

On the reverse side, the clip hardware uses a spring mechanism, allowing you to wear it without needing pierced ears. In addition, a hollow structure with a recessed center provides a design that ensures sufficient thickness from the front while also taking into account comfort when worn.

Both left and right clip pieces are clearly engraved with “Ch.Dior © GERMANY.” Based on comparing this concise engraving format, the hardware’s construction, and the sculpted form of the substantial gold-tone metal, we estimate that it dates from around 1975 to around 1989—particularly from the 1980s.

As a styling idea, pairing it with a well-tailored jacket allows the classical gold embellishment to stand out with a modern contour; wearing it with a smooth blouse or a long dress creates an elegant look reminiscent of the Maison’s history. It is also easy to incorporate as an accent when coordinating your outfit in harmonious tones, so you can enjoy it as jewelry that is not limited by gender or era.

Please take advantage of this opportunity.
