These statement earrings from the Yves Saint Laurent Collection are a true tribute to the bold, artistic design language of the 1980s. Crafted from gilt metal, the earrings have an abstract, organic form with a molten, hand-shaped texture – a style strongly associated with designer Roger Scemama and other iconic YSL collaborations.

At the centre of each piece sits a vivid emerald-green glass stone (cabochon), set within a slightly raised border. The deep colour is reminiscent of precious gemstones and forms a striking contrast with the textured gold-tone surface.

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

To this day his jewels are cherished by collectors and fashion lovers alike. By combining art, fashion and culture, he created a timeless, iconic style that continues to inspire.
