Some jewellery changes the whole mood of an outfit. This set does it with a sweep of gold, a flash of sparkle and the glorious confidence of the 1980s.
 
Sculptural and unapologetically chic, the necklace brings a beautifully defined V to the neckline. Its polished gold-plated centrepiece curves towards a tapered, stone-set point, with smaller sparkling accents at either side and a closely linked chain completing the silhouette. The accompanying clip-on earrings echo that richness in softly fluted, fan-like forms, each finished with a delicate line of clear stones. Together, they have that wonderfully composed look: hair swept back, shoulders defined, jewellery doing exactly what it came to do.
 
The aesthetic recalls the glamorous chevron and V-shaped necklaces associated with vintage Christian Dior. This is an unsigned set, offered for its own striking design and quality, with the sculptural presence and considered detailing that make jewellery from this era so compelling.
 
Wear the complete set with a black evening dress and let the gold glow against bare skin. Pair it with ivory silk for a wedding, velvet for a winter dinner, or a sharply tailored suit for an entrance that needs very little else.
 
There is something particularly beautiful about the balance here: bold enough to be noticed across a room, refined enough to reward a closer look.
And please, do not save it only for invitations.
 
Slip the necklace inside an open white shirt, add your favourite jeans, and suddenly an ordinary afternoon feels rather well dressed. Wear it over a fine black roll-neck beneath a blazer, or let the earrings bring a little polish to cashmere and loosely pinned hair. The pieces work beautifully separately, giving you as much glamour as the day calls for.
 
Coffee, lunch, the theatre, dinner - or simply the pleasure of wearing something fabulous on a Tuesday.
 
Its story is every bit as evocative as its style. Sourced from our London warehouse collection, this set belongs to an archive of jewellery preserved for decades after the original business closed in the late 1980s. Rediscovered by a London jeweller during the pandemic, the collection became accessible to selected vintage dealers and film and television production houses in the post-COVID years. The warehouse has supplied jewellery to productions including Bridgerton, Wuthering Heights and Joan - a fitting second chapter for an archive filled with such character.
Now this set is ready for a more personal chapter: your wardrobe, your evenings, your everyday rituals.
