Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is this Christian Dior brooch made of? A: It is crafted from gold‑toned metal with a textured CD logo. Like most vintage Dior costume jewellery, it is gold‑plated over a base metal rather than solid gold.
Q: How big is it and how will it sit on a garment? A: Approx. 3.5 × 4.5 × 1 cm (H × W × D). It’s a medium size that sits well on a blazer lapel, coat, knitwear or a structured dress without feeling oversized.
Q: How does the fastening work and is it secure? A: It uses a traditional pin fastening at the back. To wear, push the pin through the fabric and close the catch fully so it locks. Always check the catch is engaged before wearing, especially on thicker coats or bags.
Q: Will a brooch like this damage delicate fabrics? A: Pins can leave marks on very fine materials (silk, chiffon, delicate knits). For these, place the brooch on sturdier weaves (blazers, wool, denim) or use a small felt backing on the inside of the garment to support the pin. Avoid forcing the pin through tightly woven or fragile fabrics.
Q: How do I style a CD logo brooch? A: Classic placements include the left lapel of a blazer, at the shoulder of a dress, centred on a jumper, or securing a scarf. It also looks chic on a hat or the strap of a structured bag. The clean CD motif makes it easy to mix with chains or pearl studs for a polished look.
Q: Is this considered fine jewellery? A: No—this is Dior costume jewellery, finished in gold‑tone plating. It offers the look of gold with a lighter weight and accessible care. If you have metal sensitivities, limit prolonged skin contact and remove after wear.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasives, alcohol, perfume, and prolonged moisture, which can dull or wear the plating. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
Q: What hallmarks should I expect on vintage Dior brooches? A: Many vintage Dior pieces are signed “Chr. Dior” and some also read “Germany” (reflecting manufacture by Henkel & Grossé) and, on certain years, include a date. Signatures and placements vary by era and maker, so absence of a date does not mean it’s not authentic.
Q: Can I wear it as a pendant? A: Yes—many pins can be worn on a necklace using a brooch‑to‑pendant converter, which slides over the pin without altering the piece. A jeweller can advise on the best converter size for your chain.
Q: What is included and what is the condition? A: Accessories: no accessories. Condition: Very Good, with light traces of use consistent with careful wear. Please refer to the photos and description for details.
