Collection: Spring 2005 Christian Dior — John Galliano Era Rare Collectors Piece
An exceptionally rare and collectible pair of mismatched earrings from Christian Dior’s Spring 2005 runway collection, designed under John Galliano, whose early-2000s accessories remain some of the most coveted and theatrical in the house’s history. These earrings exemplify Galliano’s signature fusion of fantasy, indulgence, and haute couture excess: resin candy forms, hand-beaded strawberries, translucent letter blocks spelling “DIOR,” iridescent marbled acrylic elements, and sculptural chains arranged with couture-grade whimsy. The asymmetry is intentional and highly characteristic of Galliano’s narrative-driven styling for Dior — evoking childhood nostalgia, candy-shop surrealism, and vibrant pop decadence. Pieces from this runway season were produced in extremely limited quantities, and surviving examples rarely surface in such complete, untouched condition. As wearable art objects, they represent a significant moment in Dior’s accessory archive, capturing the boldest era of Galliano’s influence and the early-2000s peak of experimental, mixed-media couture jewellery.

No missing beads, no resin clouding, no discolouration, and no structural issues. Remarkably preserved with bright, glossy colour and fully intact components — rare for Galliano-era Dior.
Authenticated as originating from Dior Spring 2005, one of Galliano’s most theatrically playful seasons, defined by exaggerated colour, fantasy-driven narratives, and surrealist motifs.
Runway jewellery from this era is scarce, often produced in small, artisan-made batches, and has become increasingly valuable to collectors of early-2000s couture.
