ERA: 1980s / Parisian Logomania. Under the creative direction of Marc Bohan, Christian Dior transitioned into a period of bold, wearable luxury that defined the jet-set aesthetic of the late 20th century. This piece, manufactured by Dior's legendary German partner Henkel & Grosse, serves as a sophisticated example of early logomania. The design blends the house's storied Parisian elegance with a nautical-inspired rope motif, a recurring theme during this era that symbolized the leisure and status of the global elite. As Dior expanded its global footprint, these expertly crafted German-made accessories became essential emblems of the brand's enduring design DNA. SPECS & PROVENANCE: • Design: A refined, gold-tone circular pendant featuring a central, raised "CD" monogram framed by a textured, three-dimensional nautical life-ring or rope-border motif. The pendant is suspended from a delicate, fluid flat-link chain. • Hardware: Premium gold-tone base metal. The necklace measures approximately 15.5 inches in total length, featuring a classic spring-ring clasp for secure wear. • Hallmarks: The reverse of the pendant features a textured, granular finish. While the primary "Chr.Dior© Germany" stamp typically resides on the clasp or extender charm (not visible in all angles), the construction and "CD" logo type directly correlate with verified Henkel & Grosse productions from the 1980s. • Condition: Very Good vintage condition. The gold plating maintains a rich, warm luster across the pendant and chain. There is evidence of light, age-appropriate oxidation and superficial wear on the reverse of the pendant and near the bale. • Investment: Vintage Dior logo hardware remains a high-liquidity asset on premium platforms Authenticity Guaranteed.
