ERA: Late 1970s / Jet-Set Glamour. Under the creative direction of Marc Bohan, the house of Dior embraced a shift toward fluid, ready-to-wear luxury that captured the opulent yet relaxed mood of the late 1970s. This piece, manufactured by Dior's premier German partner Henkel & Grosse, is a stunning example of the era's transition from delicate mid-century motifs to the bold, high-shine aesthetics that defined the coming decade. The architectural pendant combines a sleek elongated bar with a brilliant pave-set orb, reflecting the blend of Parisian sophistication and expert German craftsmanship that made this collaboration a staple of 20th-century luxury costume jewelry. SPECS & PROVENANCE: • Design: A striking gold-tone "drop" pendant featuring a solitary rhinestone at the bale and a weighted, spherical orb entirely encrusted with clear, brilliant-cut pave rhinestones. The pendant is suspended on a fine, fluid twisted rope chain. • Hardware: Premium gold-tone base metal and clear rhinestones. The necklace measures approximately 17 inches in length plus a 2-inch extender chain, securing with a classic spring-ring clasp. • Hallmarks: The reverse side of the "CD" logo extender charm is clearly stamped with "Chr.Dior©" and "GERMANY". This undated hallmark specifically identifies the piece as an authentic late-1970s production by Henkel & Grosse. • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The gold-tone plating maintains a high luster, and all pave stones are present and brilliant. Exhibits only minimal, superficial micro-scratches on the flat reverse of the pendant and near the clasp, consistent with a carefully preserved 1970s artifact. • Investment: Vintage Dior pieces manufactured by Henkel & Grosse are fiercely collected and hold significant market liquidity Authenticity Guaranteed.
