A stunning piece of fashion history: authentic vintage Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) pearl stud earrings from the rare 1980s collaboration with Monet. These earrings feature the high-quality craftsmanship Monet was known for, paired with the timeless, bold aesthetic of YSL. The Collaboration History In the 1980s, Monet was the exclusive licensee for Yves Saint Laurent costume jewelry in the United States. Known for their superior triple-plating process and high manufacturing standards, Monet was the only company YSL trusted to produce his designs. These pieces were sold exclusively in high-end department stores and are now highly sought-after collector's items. Product Details Markings: The earring backs are dual-signed. One is stamped "YVES SAINT LAURENT" with the copyright symbol; the other is stamped "MONET." Materials: Rich gold-toned plating with high-luster faux pearls (glass or resin base). Style: Classic round pearl studs with oversized "bullet" comfort backs for extra support. Size: Measure 5-6mm as seen in picture 7 Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The gold plating remains bright and the pearls have a beautiful, consistent luster. Why You’ll Love Them These are the perfect "transition" piece—sophisticated enough for a wedding or the office, but with the "cool factor" of a vintage designer label.
