About the Item
Striking vintage Yves Saint Laurent necklace featuring a multi-strand design adorned with sculptural coin and disc medallions, inspired by ethnic and Aztec motifs.
This statement piece reflects Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic exploration of tribal aesthetics and bold, architectural costume jewelry during the late 1970s.
The layered composition creates depth, movement, and strong visual impact, making the necklace a powerful focal point for both minimalist and editorial looks.

This necklace design is documented in an archival editorial photograph published in Vogue, April 1978, photographed by Richard Avedon and featuring model Farrah Fawcett.
The image captures the essence of late-1970s fashion, where statement jewelry played a central role in expressive, confident styling.

Lobster clasp with adjustable length
