A small gold leaf, finely worked: a quiet Dior brooch for everyday elegance.
This brooch was made for Christian Dior in the 1980s in gold-plated metal, in the form of a finely detailed leaf. It measures 5 by 3 cm. Christian Dior's love of gardens and nature shaped the house's design language, and leaves and flowers became recurring motifs in its jewellery.
A natural motif, in polished gold.
Alongside large statement pieces, Dior's 1980s costume jewellery included small, refined brooches suited to everyday wear. They added a discreet touch of gold to suits, knits and blouses.
Gold tones were the dominant colour of 1980s jewellery, and a gold leaf brooch fitted naturally into the polished, put-together dressing of the decade.
At 5 by 3 cm, the leaf is compact, but its detailing gives it depth and texture. The gold plating keeps a warm, bright finish.
Depth and texture, at a small scale.
Small Dior brooches are an accessible entry into collecting the house's costume jewellery. This leaf, in very good condition, is easy to wear every day.
Signed pieces from couture houses are among the most collected vintage costume jewellery.
Gold-plated pieces with bright, unworn plating are preferred.
Botanical motifs remain popular in jewellery.
