Lanvin is an iconic French fashion house, founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin. Alongside couture and prêt-à-porter, Lanvin is renowned for its refined bijoux fantaisie (costume jewellery), which became a fixture of the fashion scene from the early 20th century onwards.

Lanvin's jewellery is characterised by artistic, often sculptural designs in which playful shapes, rich colours and high-quality materials come together. Although the pieces contain no precious stones or metals, they excel in craftsmanship and aesthetics – think gilt metals, glass stones, enamel and striking motifs such as flowers, geometry or abstract forms.

Many of the jewels were designed to be worn in several ways, making them beloved by collectors of unique, versatile accessories. Lanvin enjoyed a particularly creative flowering in jewellery design from the 1960s to the 1980s, producing bold statement pieces that are highly sought after today.
