A towering figure of 20th century fashion, Saint Laurent was the last of a generation that included Christian Dior and Coco Chanel. The three helped restore Paris to its former glory as fashion capital of the world.
Saint Laurent died in Paris on June, 1st of brain cancer. He was 71 years old. In the fast-changing world of haute couture, Saint Laurent was hailed as the most influential and enduring designer of his time. His creations span many styles, his designs were both rebellious and traditional and they brought women's fashion to a new height. The legendary designer rewrote the rules of fashion. He put women in elegant pantsuits and defined the way modern women dressed. Saint Laurent created instant classics. They remain stylish decades later as is the case with this stricking brooch.
The brooch is 3-1/2 inches square. Five faux pearl discs set in a soft gold star and flash with large rhinestones that are still brilliant. An added plus, it doubles as a pendant if desired. With the death of the designer, these pieces will continue to raise in price as collectors snatch them up. This piece is in very good condition with only a tiny pin point spot on one of the pearls that feels like it would come off it cleaned.
All my jewelry is vintage or antique previously worn jewelry for the most part. For this reason I try to include close-up photos for your examination, but please feel free to ask questions before you make your purchase. |
