Costume jewelry was an essential component of every Yves Saint Laurent runway collection. The designer’s keen eye for color and detail was translated into statement-making ornaments. Much of the Saint Laurent jewelry from the 1980s was crafted by Robert Goossens, who also worked with the houses of Chanel and Dior.
