Authentic Vintage Christian Dior Gold Mesh Statement Choker
An absolutely striking vintage Christian Dior statement necklace, featuring a beautifully woven gold-tone mesh collar centered by a dramatic deep navy blue enamel medallion, luminous oval faux pearl and sparkling clear crystal accents.
This is Dior glamour at its finest.
The necklace has a substantial yet beautifully fluid woven mesh construction that follows the neckline like a collar. At the center is an architectural horseshoe-shaped medallion finished in glossy navy blue enamel, framing an oval faux pearl with soft, luminous iridescence. Rows of brilliant clear crystals flank the centerpiece and provide just the right amount of sparkle against the rich gold and blue.
The combination of navy enamel, pearl, crystals and textured gold mesh gives this necklace an unmistakably luxurious late-20th-century couture look.
And the back is every bit as impressive.
The unusual double fold-over closure is incorporated directly into the design and provides approximately 1 inch of adjustability. Both closure components are signed Chr. Dior ©, an exceptional detail for the collector.

This necklace is in excellent vintage condition.
The gold-tone mesh remains beautifully rich and bright, the deep navy enamel presents exceptionally well, the faux pearl retains its luminous finish, and the clear crystal detailing adds beautiful sparkle.

As with all authentic vintage jewelry, extremely minor evidence of age may be present upon close inspection. Please review all photographs, which form an important part of the description.
Collector’s Note
Vintage Christian Dior costume jewelry from this period is prized for its bold scale, sophisticated materials and unmistakable couture presence.
Dior produced striking collar and choker necklaces combining gold-plated finishes, faux pearls, enamel and crystal elements, making this necklace a wonderful example of the house’s glamorous vintage jewelry aesthetic.
What elevates this particular piece is the entire combination:
The substantial woven mesh.
The dramatic navy enamel.
The luminous oval pearl.
The crystal accents.
The sculptural centerpiece.
And the Chr. Dior © signatures on both sides of the closure.
It is luxurious without being overly ornate and instantly recognizable as high-fashion vintage.
Styling Note
This necklace was made for a clean neckline.
Wear it with a black strapless dress, crisp white button-down, ivory silk, navy, or even a simple black turtleneck and allow the necklace to do all the talking.
The deep navy enamel against the yellow gold is especially sophisticated and gives the piece a richness that photographs beautifully but is even more impressive in person.
This is not background jewelry.
It is the outfit.
