So hunting has been rough lately, and I was starting to feel like I was never going to find another great piece and then the clouds lifted and a ray of sunshine pointed me to this. Outstanding authentic vintage Christian Dior brooch. Its my first piece of vintage Dior and I could not believe I found it. Goes to show you never know whats around the corner. Happy hunting!

Lovely, I would only dream to find something like this on a hunting trip :)
Thank you I felt the same way. This is the first piece of vintage Dior I have ever come across so I nabbed it. I wasn't even going to have them take it out of the case because this store tends to price things rather high and next to the brooch was a piece of Coventry marked at $60. Which I think is way to much but I asked if I could see the brooch any way and to my surprise Dior for $30. Happy hunting!
You are so fortunate to find this unbelievable piece! I absolutely LOVE it!!!!
Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!
