"BALENCIAGA PARIS" 80’s-90’s Sculptural braided metal statement necklace
Introducing an exquisite piece from BALENCIAGA PARIS that embodies the sculptural beauty cultivated by a couture maison, worn at a jewelry scale with an organic texture that stands out.
This exquisite piece features braided parts that resemble bundled metal wires, creating a quiet weight and a glossy shadow around the neck.
First, what captures the eye is the texture of the main part, with elliptical shapes reminiscent of wheat ears or cocoons, engraved with fine lines that change how light hits depending on the angle, and the silver patina elevates from mere sophistication to depth.
Furthermore, the joints of the parts are adorned with Bordeaux chips, which serve to introduce warmth into the coldness of the metal, creating a balance that leans toward the classic but exudes a somewhat decadent mood.
The chain is made of twisted fine metal wire, maintaining delicacy while being flexible, and the line along the neck does not become stiff, naturally supporting larger front parts with skill.
The back fastener uses a mechanism combining a coil-shaped cylindrical part and a hook, and because of its simple structure, unlike modern clasps, it retains a tool-like feel rather than a decorative one, enhancing the overall persuasiveness.
The imprint includes both BALENCIAGA PARIS and a copyright mark, with a sans-serif font, but the shape of the letter A predates the current logo typography, indicating it is not a product from after 2017. Additionally, the absence of digital elements such as QR codes or RFID suggests a range from the 1980s to around 1995, making this a highly credible estimate.
Furthermore, the texture derived from casting typical of this era and the matching construction of the clasp parts give this piece a presence as an authentic vintage item rather than a reinterpretation of vintage style, which is a unique added value of this piece.
For styling, it is recommended to pair with neat shirts or minimalistic dresses, creating a three-dimensional effect only around the neck, and the beauty of the form stands out more as the outfit is pared down.
As another option, layering casually over tailored jackets or long coats, and establishing sculpturality as the core of styling that is characteristic of a couture maison, allows you to wear a mode-inspired tension regardless of gender.
Definitely take this opportunity.
