Timeless Dior. Rare gold-plated statement cuff featuring a hammered, textured finish with a striking moulded orange coral resin conch shell. Signed Christian Dior Parfums.
Created for the launch of the iconic Dune fragrance in 1987, this piece was designed by Robert Goossens, a renowned jeweler who also collaborated with Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. It formed part of a special Dune collection, which included matching brooches and earrings featuring the same vibrant orange resin shell motif. Produced to celebrate the fragrance, these pieces were often given as exclusive gifts or sold through Dior perfume counters rather than solely in boutiques.
