"Yves Saint Laurent" 80's-90's Baroque faux pearl brooch

"Yves Saint Laurent"

80s–90s sculptural gold-tone costume jewelry brooch

With a free, intuitive sense of modernity and elegance, and leaving a significant mark on 20th-century fashion history, Yves Saint Laurent presents a truly exquisite piece with beautiful decorative allure.

Featuring sculptural gold-tone form, paired with an ivory milky cabochon and flowing drop embellishments, this piece offers a classical yet radiant design.

The openwork, swirling design that expands in four directions traces organic contours reminiscent of flowers or clover. On a yellow-gold–toned metal with a mirror-like sheen, a hammered-textured relief surface adds depth and character—allowing you to enjoy not only the brilliance of jewelry, but also a vintage sense of dimension.

At the center sits a milky cabochon that appears ivory to cream in tone, while the lower portion features drop elements in a harmonious palette connected by rings—creating a layered, three-dimensional presence even when the brooch is still. When worn, a subtle rhythm emerges with each step, offering the dramatic appeal unique to costume jewelry.

Because the material details cannot be confirmed, we cannot claim it is made of precious metal or natural pearls. Based on the image, it appears to be crafted from cast metal with a gold-tone plating, combined with milky ivory-colored parts that are likely faux pearls or resin-based elements. Such striking presence—allowing you to enjoy ornamentation as fashion—clearly reflects the distinctive character of costume jewelry from a luxury maison.

Regarding the period, beyond the fact that a刻印 that appears to read the YSL CASSANDRA logo is visible within the rectangular cartouche at the center of the reverse side, there are no elements strongly indicating more recent pieces such as a QR code, URL, or “Saint Laurent Paris.” In addition, the luxurious mood created by combining large gold-tone metal with baroque-style milky parts aligns well with the trends of YSL-type costume jewelry from around the 1980s to the 1990s—making it a vintage piece to enjoy from that era.

When added to the lapels of a jacket or coat, it brings a refined elegance to your look. Styled with a dress or knitwear, it creates a classical afterglow. And when used as a scarf clasp, it naturally adds a luxurious accent to everyday styling.

This is especially recommended for those seeking jewelry that retains a sense of dignity without sacrificing extravagance, or for anyone wishing to add a single piece of Yves Saint Laurent–like mode-inspired luster to their ensemble. When paired with a simple black tailored jacket or a cashmere knit, the original sculptural beauty of the brooch and the soft radiance of the milky cabochon are elevated even more beautifully.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
