Through the new Haute Joaillerie collection, Victoire de Castellane, Artistic Director of Dior Joaillerie since 1999, once again explored the imaginative world of Dior, bringing together nature, color, and craftsmanship in a playful yet sophisticated collection. Presented in Venice in May 2026, the Diorissima High Jewellery Collection 2026 referenced both the House of Dior and the spirit of La Serenissima.

Designed as a journey through three different universes, Diorissima moved between lush gardens, underwater landscapes, and celestial scenes. Floral compositions featuring clover, wisteria, and fruit-inspired details gave way to aquatic motifs filled with coral, fish, bubbles, and vivid blue gemstones. The final chapter shifted toward the sky, where suns, eclipses, and cloud-like forms appeared through unexpected gemstone combinations.

The collection reflected Victoire de Castellane’s signature visual language, combining layered shapes, strong contrasts, and vibrant colors. References to collage and artistic experimentation could be seen throughout the pieces, echoing the creative influences admired by Christian Dior.

Composed of 141 creations, including necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, earcuffs, and brooches, the collection embraced a bold and expressive vision of Haute Joaillerie. The pieces stood out through their rich color combinations and dimensional compositions, balancing refinement with a sense of spontaneity.

Exceptional craftsmanship remained central to the Diorissima High Jewellery Collection 2026, with Dior’s ateliers employing intricate techniques such as the “doublet” method, layering gemstones to create subtle shifts in tone and depth. Similarly, lacquer detailing further enhanced the pieces, playing with opacity, transparency, and light to intensify color throughout the collection.
