Vintage Jewelry from the 1990s

The 1990s close the Baroque age and open a more minimalist era. Volumes are contained, materials are purified, ornamentation is focused. This is the time when couture jewelry begins to engage with minimalism.

Rediscovered Sobriety

Driven by designers like Helmut Lang, Jil Sander, and the early Margiela, the entire wardrobe is purified. Jewelry follows: streamlined long necklaces, geometric earrings, cuffs with clean lines. Under Lagerfeld, Chanel offers a more discreet interpretation of the camellia.

The Last Baroque Pieces

Christian Lacroix continues his exuberant style. Schiaparelli reopens. The last Baroque pieces of this decade are now especially appreciated as a counterpoint to the more refined collections.

The Threshold of Vintage

A piece from 1995 or 1998 is now over twenty-five years old: it technically qualifies as vintage. For collectors, this is often the most accessible entry point into signed vintage.
