A statement charm necklace by Christian Dior, designed in gold-tone metal and composed of oversized circular chain links adorned with playful, emblematic charms. The necklace features multiple miniature “Poison” perfume bottle charms, each engraved with the fragrance name, interspersed with bold letter pendants spelling out POISON across the chain.
Introduced in the wake of the legendary Dior “Poison” fragrance launch in 1985, jewelry bearing the Poison motif became a defining accessory of the late 1980s, reflecting the era’s fascination with excess, seduction, and unapologetic branding. The exaggerated scale, high-shine finish, and novelty-driven design align with Dior’s fashion jewelry from this period, when accessories were intended to be provocative centerpieces rather than subtle accents.
While no specific runway attribution is documented for this piece, Poison-themed jewelry was produced as part of Christian Dior’s late-1980s fashion jewelry collections, closely tied to the cultural impact of the fragrance and widely embraced by collectors for its instantly recognizable iconography.
A highly collectible archival necklace that captures the audacious spirit of late-20th-century Dior and remains a cornerstone piece for serious fashion jewelry collectors.
