Collier aurore boréale cristal années 1950 1960 Christian à prix réduit Dior Swarovski non signé

RARE Vintage 1950s 1960s Unsigned Christian Dior Swarovski Crystal Aurora Borealis Iridescent Necklace

This is an unsigned Christian Dior piece, circa 1958-1962.

History:

Dior began designing jewelry in 1948 and many early pieces were not signed.

Around 1955, Dior partnered with Swarovski, introducing a line of jewelry featuring iridescent "aurora borealis" rhinestones, like the ones seen in this necklace. A special coating was developed and used on the stones to create an iridescent sheen.

Aurora borealis became even more popular in the very late 50s through the early 60s.

Condition:

In very good condition. All crystals are still sparkling and are intact. Please see all photos.

I have included a picture showcasing the clasp of this piece, alongside a modern (and signed) Christian Dior necklace. As you can see, both clasps have a prominent "D" shape.

Necklace measures approximately 17.75 inches long and has a foldover snap closure.

Longest strand measures approximately 2.6 inches long.
