“Since 1947, Christian Dior has endlessly embodied ethical, social and environmental issues across his character and its creations. These values have been transmitted through the years and now meet today's worthiest reward with RJC Certification, accorded after the successful verification assessment that has been conducted by SGS”, says Laurence Nicolas, Director of Dior Fine Jewellery.
“Human and environmental issues are intrinsically part of Christian Dior Couture's history, and today the RJC confirms our commitment towards these convictions. There is no other wish for Christian Dior Couture but making our client feel wonderfully unique with Fine and High Jewellery pieces that tell a true and authentic story, that have been shaped with passion and have preserved know-how talents, that have been sourced respecting human condition”, says Sidney Toledano, CEO of Christian Dior Couture.

About Christian Dior Couture
Since 1947, Christian Dior Couture has been insolently revolutionizing Haute Couture's stylistic codes adopted by the most elegant women all around the world. The “New Look” tradition has been perpetuated with Victoire de Castellane's arrival in 1998 who created Christian Dior Couture's first Dior Fine Jewellery collections. Her creations are inspired by Christian Dior's values of nature and voluptuousness. Colourful and voluminous, every single piece tells a story that has been materialized by a craftsman's singular and highly respected know-how, and which is perpetuated among generations.
For already 14 years, Dior Fine Jewellery has been confirming its social and environmental consciousness by supporting these women's and men's talents in creating jewellery pieces promoting nature's richness.
