YSL Is Getting Into Fine Jewelry

The great Anthony Vacarello, creative director for Saint Laurent shared a story on his IG, announcing the launch

Exciting news out of Paris today. The French fashion house Saint Laurent is launching Haute Joaillerie. Anthony Vaccarello, the label’s Creative Director, designed this foray into fine jewelry as a natural extension of Saint Laurent’s runway styles: clean, linear, and metal-forward. The cuffs, earrings, and necklaces are created in gold and diamonds, materials that serve as the main point of differentiation from the jewelry that is styled with the ready-to-wear at his fashion shows. While some of the pieces are slim and branded similarly to the luxury handbags from the house, the vast majority of the pieces will look more or less anonymous to those not in the know—these are jewels designed to span decades and transcend trends.

Saint Laurent Haute Joaillerie will be available to purchase at select flagship stores and via pre-order online starting May 2.

The entire collection is already on the brand’s website, where you can opt to be notified at release. It includes a gold charm bracelet for $1,090, wide cuffs in 18k white gold for $43,300, multichain bracelets for $4,290, and logo stud earrings starting at $790. The prices fall between $790 to $48,000, with the gold and diamonds being “carefully selected” by Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello.
