Why we love it

Description & history

A vintage Yves Saint Laurent necklace from the 1980s · 2 × 3 cm stylised flower pendant · gold-plated metal · emerald green and clear rhinestones · adjustable 46–52 cm rope chain · lobster clasp · YSL hallmarks · grade B.

This vintage Yves Saint Laurent necklace is a fine illustration of the house's taste for jewellery that is both refined and expressive. Its stylised flower-shaped pendant combines gold-plated metal with emerald green and clear rhinestones. The different tones complement one another to create a precious sparkle, while the floral composition retains perfectly controlled elegance.

The choice of emerald green gives the jewellery a distinctive depth. Paired with clear crystals, it contrasts with the warmth of the gold metal and gives the pendant a luminous presence without excess. At 2 × 3 cm, the flower has enough character to stand out while remaining easy to wear every day.

The rope chain adds a rich, slightly twisted texture characteristic of vintage jewellery from this period. Adjustable from 46 to 52 cm, it allows the pendant height to be altered according to the neckline and silhouette. The lobster clasp completes the piece simply, while the hallmarks on the back of the pendant and at the end of the chain identify the piece.

Good overall condition, grade B — light signs of wear consistent with age. An elegant and luminous piece for collectors of vintage Yves Saint Laurent jewellery and lovers of Parisian costume jewellery. Sold with its box and RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity.
