Victoire de Castellane Unveils 163-Piece High-Jewellery Dior Collection

Victoire de Castellane, creative director of Dior Joaillerie, is known for her bold and imaginative high-jewellery creations that challenge traditional norms with vibrant colors and unconventional stones like opals. She is preparing to unveil Diorexquis, a collection of 163 pieces inspired by natural landscapes and festive scenes, employing historic techniques such as plique-à-jour enamel work. De Castellane's personal style and family heritage, including connections to the belle époque and prominent historical figures, reflect the blend of tradition and avant-garde that defines her work. Meanwhile, the Copper Scroll, a unique Dead Sea Scroll, remains a subject of intrigue for researchers due to its description of a vast hidden treasure scattered across Israel, raising questions about its authenticity and symbolic meaning. Complementing these themes of mystery and timelessness are poetic reflections on the nature of truth, stillness, and suffering, exploring the metaphor of the stone and the wind as embodiments of stability and change, underscoring philosophical ideas about acceptance and presence.
