Three Dior rings and three necklaces in yellow, rose and white gold compose this Tête de Mort jewelry collection which reinterprets the “Memento Mori” and “Carpe Diem” philosophy.

Alluding to the fact that we must take advantage of every moment life offers, these two precepts have been interpreted through stones carefully selected for their pastel and profound hues. Discreetly scattered like clues across these creations, certain details serve to echo these Latin terms.

Clover represented with tsavorite garnets, meticulously engraved hearts, or a crown of lily-of-the-valley in white gold and diamonds, evoke the notion of fate and the charms that Christian Dior so prized. All of these motifs were meticulously made by the expert hands of a craftsman in a French jewelry atelier. With the help of his trusty tools, he worked with careful precision to produce a precious story that rewards closer inspection.
