Of the jewelry in the reviews of Dior’s spring/summer 2027 show, most hung from the ear. The house’s own account of the show, published by LVMH on October 1, gives jewelry one sentence: “Scarves draped over the shoulder and cascading earrings introduce asymmetry.” Reviewers filled in the rest: earrings cut from organza into petal shapes, silk petals cascading from statement earrings, long strands worn on a single ear, and pairs that did not match. They also named fine chains worn across the body.
In the house’s words
Dior’s account opens with the setting and the idea: “Presented across a tree-lined basin, the new collection by Jonathan Anderson draws inspiration from nature. Mist imparts breath to movement, transparency and floral shapes resonate in clothes and accessories. Summery silhouettes embody an airy sensibility.” LVMH, the group Dior belongs to, titled it “Fluidity and lightness prevail at Dior Summer 2027 Women’s Show”. Anderson is Dior’s creative director, and the show took place on September 29, 2026, at the Bassin Octogonal in the Jardin des Tuileries.
The season began with a walnut: Anderson’s starting point was the Chinese practice of rolling wénwán walnuts. The collection notes read: “Long before a tree spreads its branches to the sky, the nut holds the knowledge of its form.” Anderson said that “Coming across wénwán walnuts reminded me how we can find knowledge and preciousness in nature”. The house sent a pair of walnuts with the invitations, “underscoring the essential contribution of nature’s beauty to Dior’s savoir-faire”, and its account mentions an evening bag, a minaudière, that “takes the form of a wénwán walnut – a nod to the Chinese tradition of hand-rolling the dried nuts to create a natural patina”.
Dior’s own Instagram caption for the show, below, says more about the walnuts. It explains how a pair is rolled in one hand until “their surface acquires a smooth sheen”, and went on: “Pairs that are similar in shape and size are difficult to find and especially prized. Perfect symmetry is elusive.”

The jewelry, piece by piece
- Petals and fabric. The second look wore “earrings made from organza fabric cut into petal-like shapes”; elsewhere “cascades of silk petals grew from the models’ statement earrings”, with gemstones among the fabric and transparent ribbons trailing below.
- One earring, or two that don’t match. “Strings that resembled leis hung as earrings from a single ear”, some draped over the models’ right shoulders; other pairs did not match. Beaded earrings “extended beyond the collarbone”.
- Chains on the body. Fine body chains “dangled down torsos like wired headphones”, swinging around the models’ top halves.
- Necklaces at different lengths. Layered necklaces hung at different lengths, one more imbalance in a show full of them.
Wearing it
The single earring has a page of its own here: one earring, or two that don’t match. The short version, from L’Officiel USA: put “a small stud in the opposite ear for an asymmetric look”, and pull your hair back so the length shows.
If you want to try it
Dior’s idea works with one earring and nothing more. Our single earrings are sold one at a time; the Gravity Mono Earring is a cultured pearl on a small sterling silver hoop with fine chains falling about three inches, close to Dior’s long strands with pearls.
