Camille Miceli, for her debut as Dior’s costume jewelry designer, has got a hit on her hands. Miceli, a super talent in her own light–she was Marc Jacobs’ right-hand and the designer behind many of Louis Vuitton’s fine jewelry collections and collaborations–said she wanted to revert back to the Dior house codes, to utilize pearls for their timelessness but add a dose of modern appeal. She channeled the archival roots of the Dior DNA in designing this delicious collection of necklaces and bracelets called Diorose. My favorite piece, and perhaps the most statement making, is the “Diorose Large Necklace I.” Fashioned from gilded metal, natural resin beads and pink enameled roses, it’s fastened with an oval closure with a CD facet done in an Art Deco way that Bag Snob aficionados will recognize as the same clasp used on some of the Dior bag designs. I love the oversized, chunky aesthetic of this necklace; wear it with a simple tanktop or a show-stopping gown–either way, this piece will complement and compliment. The oversized baroque pearls are simply gorgeous, and combined with the metal roses, adds just the right touch of sparkly femininity.
