Since 1955 Henkel & Grosse worked together with Christian Dior and for fifty years held a license to produce and distribute Dior jewellery worldwide. Henkel & Grosse carried on producing their own jewellery lines, For example, the line Grosse Bijoux, which was expanded in the 1960s to include the collections Grosse Sterling and Gold. In 2005 the family withdrew from the business and the firm became part of the Dior group.
