Signed Christian Dior Diamond Snail Brooch and Clip Earrings, circa 1950 to 1960

Three small snails become wonderfully theatrical in this signed Christian Dior parure. Burgundy suede gives their rounded forms a soft, unexpected richness, while the diamonds sit like dew drops across their shells. With its brooch and matching clip earrings, the set turns a playful natural motif into a confident Fifties statement.
