Perfect for weddings, garden parties or evening events, this vintage Christian Dior rhinestone rose brooch brings romantic, gold‑tone sparkle to a blazer, cocktail dress or silk scarf—an elegant flourish for special occasions.
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 are the dimensions and how does it sit when worn? A: The brooch measures approximately 4 × 4 × 0.8 cm. Its compact, slightly domed profile sits neatly on lapels and medium‑weight fabrics, adding a focused sparkle without feeling bulky.
Q: How can I style a brooch like this in a modern way? A: Try pinning it slightly off‑centre on a blazer lapel, at the shoulder of a knit, to gather a dress at the waist, to secure a scarf, or on a hat or bag strap. Grouping it with one or two smaller pins can create a contemporary cluster look.
Q: Will the pin mark delicate fabrics? A: A standard pin closure is best on sturdier weaves such as wool, denim, or structured cotton. For delicate silk or fine knits, test on an inconspicuous area first and consider reinforcing the back with a small piece of felt or using a magnetic brooch converter to avoid pinholes.
Q: Are the stones diamonds? A: No. They are clear rhinestones (glass/crystal) typical of Dior’s vintage costume jewellery. They deliver brilliant sparkle while keeping the piece lightweight and wearable.
Q: Is the metal real gold? A: This is gold‑tone plated costume jewellery. Unless a Dior piece is explicitly hallmarked for precious metal, assume high‑quality plating over a base metal rather than solid gold.
Q: How should I clean and care for the rhinestones? A: Avoid soaking and ultrasonic cleaners. Gently lift dust with a soft, dry brush; if needed, use a barely damp cotton bud around settings and dry immediately. Keep perfumes, hairspray, and moisture away from the piece, and store it separately in a soft pouch to protect the plating and stones.
Q: What if a rhinestone becomes loose or is missing? A: A professional costume‑jewellery repair service can secure loose stones and often source close matches for missing ones. Exact vintage cuts and colours can be tricky to match, so keep any original stones if they dislodge and seek specialist help.
Q: How do you authenticate vintage Dior jewellery? A: We examine materials, plating quality, construction, and era‑appropriate Dior signatures (which have varied by decade), along with comparative references. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, and we stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything supplied is listed in the product information section on this page. For this piece, there are no additional inclusions beyond the brooch itself.
Q: What does “Very Good” condition mean here? A: It shows light signs of prior use consistent with careful wear. The metalwork remains shiny with some light surface scratches, and the brooch presents beautifully when worn.
