Their circular, slightly irregular disc shape features a distinctive hammered or wrinkled gold-tone texture, giving them a sculptural, organic feel reminiscent of the designs of Robert Goossens. Goossens, the legendary jeweler who frequently collaborated with YSL, was known for his textured metalwork and opulent style. These clip-on earrings are a testament to that collaboration, offering a touch of haute couture glamour. They are perfect for making a bold statement, adding a touch of vintage luxury and artistic flair to any outfit.

Historical Context:

The collaboration between Yves Saint Laurent and master jeweler Robert Goossens significantly shaped the identity of YSL's costume jewelry. Goossens, a pivotal artisan known for his work with major fashion houses including Chanel and Dior, applied a distinctive sculptural aesthetic to his designs. His signature often involved textured metalwork, such as the hammered finish observed on these earrings, drawing inspiration from ancient, Byzantine, and Baroque art forms.

Goossens was instrumental in the development of Yves Saint Laurent's jewelry lines, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s. His creative input ensured that YSL's costume pieces complemented their haute couture collections, establishing them as highly coveted accessories in their own right. While these earrings bear the Yves Saint Laurent signature, their design aligns with documented styles attributed to Goossens' direct influence and creation for the brand, suggesting a definitive connection to his celebrated body of work within the YSL oeuvre. This alignment underscores the artistic integrity and historical significance of pieces from this period of their collaboration.
