“BALENCIAGA” 70’s-80’s Sculptural green enamel horseshoe pendant necklace

“BALENCIAGA”70s–80s sculptural green enamel horseshoe pendant necklace

Founded in 1917 by Cristóbal Balenciaga, and driven by original design aesthetics and outstanding sense of beauty, BALENCIAGA has continuously brought innovation to the history of fashion. We are pleased to introduce this exquisite piece, which captivates with the harmony of artistic form and beautiful color.

Built around a calm sage green, this piece masterfully combines soft ivory, coral pink, and warm gold, creating a sculptural presence that feels unmistakably classical in elegance—yet carries a hint of exotic allure.

What first captures the eye is the large, curved arch-shaped top reminiscent of a horseshoe. The bold, three-dimensional form carved out at the center beautifully coexists with the softness unique to curves and a mode-like impression shaped by its geometric composition.

On the green surface, delicate gold-colored lines are layered in multiple strokes and arranged to flow along the arch’s curves. This creates a natural sense of movement and depth across the entire top, allowing you to enjoy different expressions depending on the angle at which it catches the light.

Particularly noteworthy are the ivory decorations set from the upper area to the right side. Three-dimensional parts with smooth, curved surfaces create a gentle contrast with the vivid green, imparting a distinct sense of individuality through an asymmetrical design.

In addition, gold-colored ornaments engraved with fine horizontal ridges are placed at both ends of the arch. The coral pink glimpsed at their tips serves as a subtle accent. By introducing variations in color and texture even in these fine details, the piece achieves a completeness that feels like a fully realized work of decorative art.

The chain features finely interwoven gold-colored metal, and while its delicate sheen and supple lines further enhance the top’s richly sculptural form, the longer length is set to naturally guide the gaze toward the neckline.

Also, an oval-shaped fitting is built into the upper part of the top, and the section where the chain passes is designed with rounded edges as well—creating harmony with the overall organic form.

As an era, it is estimated to be vintage jewelry from the 1970s to the 1980s. From similarities such as the modernist metal sculptural forms and enamel-based color expression seen in BALENCIAGA of that time, as well as the interwoven chain structure, you can appreciate the allure of jewelry as an ornamental art that the brand has long cultivated.

Designs that place the form itself at the center are especially recommended for those who want to naturally incorporate individuality into their styling, and for those who wish to enjoy accessories as art pieces. With its richness of ornamentation—yet approachable for everyday styling thanks to the composed color pairing of sage green and gold—this is a truly compelling choice.

For styling, pairing a tailored jacket with a simple blouse creates a polished, neat look, while combining it with a long dress that drapes beautifully will enhance the top’s exquisite colors and finish the overall impression with classic sophistication.

It also blends naturally into a genderless style with a shirt and wide slacks. With the longer chain elegantly drawing beautiful vertical lines, it elevates even a simple outfit into something more memorable and striking.

A special piece with an unmistakable presence, allowing you to feel BALENCIAGA’s passion for exploring beauty in form and the rich ornamentation characteristic of vintage jewelry.

By all means, take this opportunity.
