But do you know the collection was born out of Monsieur Christian Dior's superstitions?

The wind rose, an eight-pointed star used in sea travel, was one of his many lucky symbols. He swore by it and often carried it along with him. Inspired by that, Dior Joaillerie creative director Victoire de Castellane designed the wind rose as a medallion with one side showcasing a hard stone and the other the star. To give the small medallion texture, the craftsmen encircle it with tiny rice-shaped gold grains—this gives the luxury giant the possibility of expanding the Rose des Vents collection into one that comprises necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
