Christian Dior GROSSE 1970s Ruby Sapphire Emerald Necklace

Elegant without excess, this authentic Christian Dior GROSSE 1970s Ruby Sapphire Emerald Necklace reflects the refined jewellery design that defined European luxury fashion during the 1970s. Rather than relying on elaborate ornamentation, the necklace achieves its impact through proportion, sculptural form and exceptional craftsmanship.

A substantial polished curb-link chain frames three bezel-set oval cabochon crystals representing ruby red, sapphire blue and emerald green. Their rich colours create a balanced focal point while preserving the clean architectural character that has made vintage Dior jewellery so enduringly desirable.

Designed to sit neatly at approximately 40 cm, the necklace rests comfortably around the neckline, making it equally suited to contemporary tailoring and elegant evening dressing. The harmonious spacing between each coloured cabochon gives the piece rhythm, symmetry and visual balance.

 Materials & Construction

Produced by GROSSE for Christian Dior, the necklace is crafted in gold-plated metal with a substantial interlocked curb-link construction. The polished finish reflects light beautifully while maintaining the refined appearance associated with Dior’s vintage costume jewellery.

Each coloured cabochon is securely bezel set from the saturated ruby, sapphire and emerald tones. The concealed clasp integrates naturally into the chain, preserving the uninterrupted silhouette.

Styling

The Christian Dior GROSSE 1970s Ruby Sapphire Emerald Necklace pairs beautifully with black tailoring, ivory silk, camel cashmere and minimalist evening wear. Worn alone, it creates a confident statement while remaining elegant and understated.

Its rich jewel tones make it an excellent choice for both daytime sophistication and formal occasions, allowing the necklace to become the focal point of an outfit without overwhelming it.

Collector’s Note

Vintage jewellery produced by GROSSE for Christian Dior is highly regarded for its exceptional manufacturing quality and close collaboration with the Dior fashion house. Pieces combining sculptural gold-tone construction with coloured cabochon stones have become increasingly appreciated by collectors seeking well-preserved examples from the brand’s most celebrated decades. The Christian Dior GROSSE 1970s Ruby Sapphire Emerald Necklace is a fine representation of this distinctive period in Dior costume jewellery design.
