Yves Saint Laurent was one of the most influential fashion designers of the 20th century. In the 1970s he also began designing costume jewellery, which quickly became a fixture of his fashion shows and collections.

Saint Laurent was known for his bold and glamorous style. His jewellery was large, outspoken and often richly coloured – true statement pieces that gave his designs extra power.

To this day his jewellery is loved by collectors and fashion enthusiasts. By combining art, fashion and culture, he created a timeless and iconic style that continues to inspire.
