This auction is for a fabulous, rare, early Christian Dior brooch.  This is one of the early costume jewelry marks used on pieces produced under Diro's licensed jewelry program during the late 1950's.  The construction is amazing with excellent stone setting quality, riveted construction and two tone metalwork typical of higher-end Dior costume jewelry.  This is an elegant vintage Christian Dior rhinestone wreath & ribbon brooch, signed Chr. Dior @ 59.  This early Dior costume jewelry design features brilliant clear rhinestones arranged in a dimensional wreath  & ribbon motif, with a twisted gold tone inner frame.  A beautiful example of late 1959's Dior craftsmanship.  Absolutely fabulous!!! PLEASE NOTE:  Although all my jewelry listings will be marked that returns are not accepted (due to eBay's change of policy from 14 day returns to 30 days). If an item is damaged in shipment or there are any condition issues that I missed, please send me a note and a photograph.  No returns will be accepted without a photograph.   We will not accept returns because an item "does not fit" or because the buyer "changed their mind".   We only ship our jewelry in a box, so be sure to check out our other listings and our eBay store items (over 3950, all on sale).  Several pieces of jewelry will ship for the same price as one piece, or jewelry can ship with larger pieces at no extra cost.  We don’t mark up our items by a great amount, so reasonable offers only please. We do have a layaway plan available for items or groups of items totaling $200 or more. I am happy to ship to third party shippers for my international clients as well.   Great low starting bid, and being sold with NO RESERVE!
