–SPECIAL– "Christian Dior" 80’s cross motif rope chain necklace with 2way brooch pendant

Since its founding, Christian Dior has linked fragrance and fashion as a single aesthetic, continuously updating the contours of elegance even as times change. We introduce a special piece that combines strong form and classic elegance.

This piece features a design with a heavy rope chain and a top layered with a heart-shaped milky cabochon and pearl, exuding a quiet presence.

First, what attracts you is the heart-shaped decoration at the four ends of the top, with a carved surface on a milky white face that appears to be glass or resin, creating soft shadows rather than a flat white when light hits it. The central fake pearl fits as a rounded core, creating a subtle sweetness that does not become excessive, so despite its strong symbolism, it remains balanced within the outfit.

Furthermore, the gold-tone metal has a thick texture, and the three-dimensional surface creates depth, naturally giving it the impact unique to vintage pieces. The small crystal points add a subtle sparkle, ensuring that the impression around the neck remains elegant even at a distance, with a refined brightness. Additionally, the chain is a heavy, twisted rope type, providing a sculptural strength that thin chains cannot, making it especially appealing to those who want to build their outfit around jewelry as the main feature.

What makes this exquisite piece special is its 2-way structure with a brooch pin on the back of the top, maintaining the completeness as a necklace while also designed not to break when moved to the lapel of a jacket or the chest of a coat. Emphasizing the vertical line as a pendant and creating an impression with a surface as a brooch, the ability to enjoy the same shape with different roles in daily life is a luxury typical of luxury costume jewelry.

It is estimated to be from the period around 1980 to 1989, based on the abbreviation logo of Chr.Dior and the copyright notation on the back, as well as the GERMANY stamp. Additionally, the clasp shape being a lobster clasp rather than a spring ring suggests a design more consistent with specifications after the 1970s, and it matches the stamp configuration often found on pieces from Glosser, a German company responsible for Dior's jewelry manufacturing at the time. Due to this background, it is not just a vintage item but a credible archive backed by technical expertise.

In terms of condition, it is less likely to show roughness or peeling of the plating, and the pearl's fading is not noticeable, allowing you to enjoy it with a balance that preserves the charm of aging without losing a sense of cleanliness. German-made items are known for their high-quality plating technology, and they are durable enough to withstand everyday gestures while maintaining a glamorous appearance, which is also a sufficient reason to choose them.

This exquisite piece, while holding classic elements, can embody the power characteristic of the 1980s as a form, making it especially recommended for those who want to add a core to a quiet outfit. It is ideal for those who want to convey class through detail density rather than logos, and as a MOOD, it is a presence that you would choose for moments when you want to add a little ritual to everyday life.

In terms of styling, pairing with a neat jacket or long coat enhances the sculptural quality of the top, and placing a single piece over a shirt or simple knit naturally creates a fashionable elegance. For bottoms, choose slacks or loose-fitting pants, and finish with leather shoes or boots to subtly land the motif's strength in an elegant manner, creating an overall impression that is both gender-neutral and fashionable.

Take this opportunity.
