Loud luxury: Saint Laurent fine jewellery

Yves Saint Laurent fine jewellery

‘Quiet luxury‘ is all the rage. Except when it’s a shouty, brassy, bike-chain-thick gold bracelet (or two) from Saint Laurent. Yes, Saint Laurent fine jewellery just launched and they want you to know about it.

None of these discreet Alhambra flowers or dainty charms for Anthony Vaccarello. It’s full pelt statement pieces in 18k yellow gold, white gold and diamonds, with a suitably high voltage campaign shot by Juergen Teller.

I’m fantasy shopping the claw ring*, gold chain necklace* and deco twist cuff* (worn over a sleeve, of course)…

Single or stack?

Cartier Trinity bracelet by Chitose Abe Sacai

Cartier has been in the news a lot in the last 12 months. Mostly for its watches (this was the latest release and this guy seems to be its most high profile collector), but this month for a new jewellery drop (above).

The Cartier x Chitose Abé (of Sacai fame) collab is perfectly in sync for the two design leaders. The Cartier Trinity ring was initially created in 1924 by Louis Cartier and was a favourite of Jean Cocteau.
