Christian Dior by John Galliano Masai Beaded Bib Necklace - 1997
Rare archival Christian Dior necklace designed by John Galliano for the house’s celebrated 1997 “Masai” inspired collections. This striking statement piece reflects Galliano’s fascination with cultural ornamentation and dramatic craftsmanship, featuring hundreds of bronze-toned glass bugle beads intricately hand-sewn in layered, cascading strands to form a sculptural bib silhouette.
The necklace is finished with tassel-style bead drops and a rich chocolate-brown grosgrain backing, secured by a gold-plated Dior logo clasp embellished with citrine crystals. The elaborate construction and fluid movement create a powerful couture accessory that embodies the theatrical spirit of Galliano’s Dior era.
Highly collectible and increasingly rare, this piece represents an important moment in 1990s Dior archive jewelry and Galliano’s exploration of global adornment and couture craftsmanship.
