-SPECIAL- “YVES SAINT LAURENT” 80’s-90’s Baroque statement necklace

From YVES SAINT LAURENT, which has long positioned jewelry as an essential element that completes styling—not only with clothing but also with jewelry—and has allowed women's beauty to be expressed more freely, we are pleased to introduce an archival piece that deeply embodies the brand's aesthetics.

This piece catches the eye with its substantial gold-tone metalwork and an organic, sculptural beauty reminiscent of a sculpture.

The three linked oval motifs centered at the middle are formed in a three-dimensional structure reminiscent of ancient ornaments and Baroque jewelry, and when paired with the mirror-polished, smooth frame and the center piece with organic contours, they create a rich play of light. Unlike a simple chain necklace, it has a presence that feels like wearing a single objet d'art at the neckline, which is its charm.

Moreover, the surrounding metalwork, crafted with a lace-like openwork, creates a lightness that belies its substantial look, achieving an exquisitely balanced effect that, even as a large piece, never appears heavy. It is also a major allure that you can feel the opulence unique to luxury maisons of the 1980s to the 1990s—a fullness that modern minimalist jewelry cannot fully express.

On the reverse, a part engraved with YSL's Cassandra logo can be seen, and the end of the adjustable chain is equipped with the same YSL charm, making this piece a faithful example of the costume jewelry line that Yves Saint Laurent offered at the time.

Regarding the era, considering the use of the Cassandra logo, the composition of sub-materials, and the absence of the customary hallmarks or new logo markings seen on current pieces, it is regarded as a vintage piece from the 1980s to the 1990s, and the ability to sense the strong feminine image and the luxurious styling culture promoted by Saint Laurent in that era adds value.

In particular, this piece has the power to transform the impression of the clothing itself, transcending the category of mere jewelry to become a centerpiece of styling, so simply adding it to a simple outfit yields an overwhelmingly complete look.

As styling, pairing with a crisp shirt or minimalist dress will emphasize the necklace’s sculptural beauty, while placing it at the neckline of a tailored jacket or long coat will impart the depth of vintage luxury. Furthermore, pairing with black-toned outfits will heighten the gold's presence, allowing you to enjoy an elegant, genderless style.

We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity.
