Description
Model History:
Tribal buckles were introduced by Dior in 2013 under the direction of Raf Simons. Their inverted silhouette, where the largest pearl is worn behind the ear, has revolutionized the aesthetics of contemporary jewelry. Inspired by both tribal art and the classic codes of the Dior house, these earrings quickly established themselves as a flagship and recognizable accessory. The many variations of materials and patterns attest to their enduring success in the house’s collections.
External Details:
The buckles are made up of two parts: a smooth, cream-colored front bead, and a larger rear sphere, in matte gold metal with a complex, almost architectural, openwork pattern. This textured surface is punctuated with embossed synthetic pearls and mirror-cut square rhinestones, providing a subtle play of reflections. The fixing system is a rod with a pusher integrated into the rear bead. The words “Dior” are engraved on the metal circle connecting the two parts.
Interior Details:
The interior metal elements show no structural defects or deformation. The fixation is solid and allows stable and comfortable wearing. The pearls are well fixed, with no play or visible traces of glue. The interior of the rear sphere is hollow, ensuring moderate weight and good balance of the loop on the lobe.
Product Condition:
In very good condition, these earrings have no deep scratches or chips on the pearls or rhinestones. The matte gilding is uniform, without tarnishing. The fixing systems are functional and well adjusted. The set has been carefully preserved and barely worn.
Care Tips:
Keep the earrings in their box or a fabric pouch to avoid shock and friction with other jewelry. Clean gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid contact with water, perfumes or cosmetic products, which can alter the gold metal and pearls.
