Yves Saint Laurent Tom Ford Brown Lucite Crystal Necklace YSL, 2003

In 1999, Tom Ford took over as the creative director for Yves Saint Laurent. Ford, like Saint Laurent, is noted for a hyper-progressive vision that tends to bring multiple layers to his design work. For Ford, this frequently manifests as an underlying or overt layer of sensuality. Seen in various iterations on the 2003 runway, this YSL lucite necklace is a statement piece. 

Set with one hundred crystals on translucent copper lucite, this edgy necklace presents a glam-futurist vibe. The organic shape of the lucite complicates the design making it a bit more challenging to define this necklace's aesthetic. Versatile and unique, it can be paired with a variety of ensembles from casual to upscale, making it the go-to accessory in any wardrobe.

The interlocking YSL logo has been engraved on the side of this necklace, and is in excellent condition. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
