Very large gilt and colored paste 'heart' earrings, Yves Saint Laurent, 1980s.
About the Item
Truly magnificent, fabulous and over sized 'heart' earrings, in vibrant and dynamic shades of shocking pink and orange. Frosted, clear and foiled stones, of varying shapes and size, unique to these earrings, create a sumptuous combination. Truly glamorous and so typical of Yves Saint Laurent, these are true runway stars, adding glamour and pzazz to their fortunate wearer.
Yves Saint Laurent was born in 1936, and became one of the 20th Century’s most famous and prolific fashion designers.
Finding himself at the head of the House of Dior, after Dior’s death, from 1957 until 1960, his first collection there certainly turned the fortunes of the couture house and launched a stellar career for himself. Accessories had always held an important place in his work, and he became highly prolific in this field, taking on certain designers, notably Loulou De La Falaise, who took charge of accessories as well as being a celebrated muse for Laurent himself. The diversity of YSL jewellery is endless, working closely with Robert Goossens , amongst other established Parisian artisans, achieving jewels of a very high quality and strong design.

- Unsigned smoke grey and soft brown cluster earrings, Schreiner of New York 1960sBy Schreiner of New YorkLocated in Greyabbey, County DownA classic design in a very elegant colour combination from Schreiner of New York - sadly these earrings are unsigned, but are a well known and popular design from the New York manufacturer of always striking and glamourous designs. The subtle combination of a soft, almost peachy, brown coupled with a smokey shade of grey make them immediately noticeable when worn, and highly wearable!

In the 1950s he made jewellery for Christian Dior. His jewellery is very distinctive for its use of unusual mounts and subtle colour combinations, using the finest quality rhinestones and crystals.
