Saint Laurent Is Launching Its First Ever Jewelry Collection

Saint Laurent is the latest luxury fashion house venturing into the realm of high-end jewelry. The French label recently announced the name of its first-ever collection of fine jewelry, Saint Laurent Haute Joaillerie.

Although Saint Laurent offered trendy accessories in the past, it’s now launching its exclusive fine jewelry collection. The collection comprises a range of exquisite pieces such as rings, earrings, cuffs, and necklaces.

Crafted from yellow and white gold and embellished with diamonds, many of the pieces pay homage to the fashion house’s signature motifs. Furthermore, the collection features rings and necklaces adorned with the iconic YSL logo. It also includes oversized chains and links inspired by their iconic Maillon.

The collection is accessible for purchase both online and in chosen Saint Laurent retail locations. Its pricing ranges from approximately £800 for a solitary earring to as high as £40,000 for chunky bracelets and cuffs.

The collection is designed by none other than YSL’s creative director, Anthony Vaccarello. The aim was to make “functional, collectible pieces” that are also timeless. “They are at once novel and suited for endless future use regardless of seasons and trends,” Vaccarello stated.

As seen in his ready-to-wear collections, Vaccarello has incorporated metals, which serve to create a striking contrast to the black-and-white color scheme frequently employed in the design of items such as shirts, blazers, and other garments. So, it’s no surprise that the campaign’s aesthetic is an extension of the brand’s clean, linear, and metal-forward style.

Furthermore, the campaign shot by Juergen Teller features the juxtaposition of chunky bangles with elegant jersey evening gowns. The collection’s bold aesthetic is indeed emphasized by layering multiple pieces, demonstrating the brand’s “more is more” philosophy.

The Haute Joaillerie collection will be available online and in select flagship stores worldwide. For more information or to shop the collection, you can visit their website here.
