Prince Dimitrije "Dimitri" Karađorđević (born 18 June 1958 in Boulogne-Billancourt, France), also known as Dimitri Karageorgevich or Dimitri Karađorđević, is founder, president and creative director of the jewelry firm bearing his name, "Prince Dimitri Company". He was formerly senior vice president of the jewelry department of the Sotheby's auction house. He was named to the International Best Dressed List's Hall of Fame in 1994.
Prince Dimitri was raised in Versailles, attending boarding schools in France and Switzerland. He graduated from the University of Paris with a degree in business law. He then moved to New York City in 1983.
Originally pursuing a career on Wall Street, he decided to move into the field of jewelry. He was offered a position in Sotheby's jewelry department, eventually rising to senior vice president. During his 15 years with Sotheby's, he also became an appraiser and studied gemology. Prince Dimitri began designing jewelry in 1999, with a collection of gemstone cufflinks that was sold at Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue. He also designed a line of women's jewelry for Barneys New York and Neiman Marcus. In 2002, he moved to the Phillips de Pury & Luxembourg auction house to head their jewelry department. In 2007, he and business partner Todd Morley founded the Prince Dimitri Company, which did not open a salon in Manhattan. His jewelry has also been sold at auction by Christie's.
On September 4, 2011, at Ridgway, Colorado, Prince Dmitri escorted Sharon Smith, the mother of the bride, at the wedding of Lauren Bush and David Lauren.
