# Dalí-designed jewelry and gold objects circulate as luxury commodities under the artist-brand

Date: 1950

## The fact

By 1950 [Dalí](/people/salvador-dali)-designed jewelry circulated as luxury commodities.

It is one event.

## Context

Later museum display of the same jewels is an access sibling.

Salvador Dalí’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

From around 1950, collaborations with jewellers (including later Fundació-held suites) made wearable Dalí objects at luxury prices. Craftsmen executed. The name captured the rent.
Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.

## Evidence and sources
