Yes, vintage Christian Dior jewellery holds excellent value, especially pieces from the 1950s-1980s. Dior pearl earrings, Christian Dior gold bracelets, and signed Dior brooches are particularly sought after by collectors and can appreciate significantly over time.
It's not recommended to wear Dior costume jewellery in the shower. Water, soap, and steam can damage the plating on Christian Dior bracelets and Dior necklaces, cause pearls to deteriorate, and affect the adhesive used in crystal settings.
Most vintage Christian Dior costume jewellery features gold plating over base metals rather than solid gold. However, Dior gold bracelets and gold Dior necklaces from this era used high-quality thick plating that has excellent durability and appearance.
Quality vintage Christian Dior jewellery is relatively resistant to tarnishing due to superior plating techniques. Christian Dior silver necklaces and silver Dior necklaces may show some patina over time, but proper storage and care can minimize this significantly.
Clean Christian Dior costume jewellery gently with a soft, dry cloth. For Dior pearl earrings and pearl necklace Dior pieces, use only a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive materials that could damage the plating or settings.
Vintage Christian Dior costume jewellery was primarily manufactured in Germany through the partnership with Grosse, and in France. Many coveted Dior earrings and Christian Dior bracelets bear "Made in Germany" or "Made in France" markings, indicating their premium European craftsmanship.
While some modern jewelry can be worn continuously, vintage Christian Dior costume jewellery should be removed before sleeping and showering. Dior rings, Christian Dior earrings, and Dior bracelets will last longer with proper care and storage.
Authentic vintage Christian Dior costume jewellery features clear signatures such as "Christian Dior," "Chr. Dior," or "CD" stamps. Look for quality construction, weight, and attention to detail in Dior brooch pins, Christian Dior earrings, and Dior necklaces. Grosse pieces are marked with both "Christian Dior" and "Grosse" or "Germany."
Yes, 14k gold can be worn daily as it's durable and resistant to tarnishing. However, vintage Christian Dior costume jewellery with gold plating should be treated more delicately. Dior gold bracelets and gold Dior necklaces from the costume collection require careful handling to preserve their finish.

Dior bracelet women pieces and Christian Dior mens bracelet styles in excellent condition command premium prices.
Store Christian Dior costume jewellery in individual soft pouches or lined jewelry boxes to prevent scratching. Keep Dior pearl earrings and pearl Dior necklaces away from other pieces, as pearls can be easily damaged. Avoid humid environments and direct sunlight to preserve the plating on Dior rings and Christian Dior bracelets.
