The 1980s are the era when couture jewelry pushed boldness to its maximum. Massive volumes, warm gold tones, theatrical ornaments: it’s the decade of absolute presence. Chanel under Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Lacroix in his early days, baroque Yves Saint Laurent: the signed pieces from this decade are now the most sought after.

The Age of Statement

Huge earrings, camellia brooches, massive cuffs, multi-strand long necklaces: jewelry is not up for debate, it asserts itself. The woman of the 1980s is one who makes her presence known from the moment she enters.

Aesthetic Codes

Warm gold, rich gilding, baroque ornamentation, symbolic motifs (camellia, anchor, key), saturated colors. It’s the meeting of haute couture and unapologetic exuberance.

A Growing Market

Vintage Eighties is one of the most dynamic segments of the international collectible jewelry market. Dateable Chanel pieces, marked Lacroix, or YSL from major seasons are now difficult to acquire.
