So, I was scrolling through Nordstrom the other day (because, retail therapy is real, people!), and I saw a whole section dedicated to Saint Laurent jewelry. Earrings, necklaces, the whole shebang. And, okay, some of it’s kinda…out there. Like, that thick golden chain necklace with the massive “YSL” logo? It’s definitely a *statement*. But, honestly, sometimes you just *need* a statement piece, y’know?
They’re getting into the whole “Haute Joaillerie” thing now, too. Which, let’s be real, translates to “really, really expensive jewelry.” Apparently, Anthony Vaccarello designed it. I’m not gonna lie, I have to google how to spell his name *every single time*. But, anyway, it’s all gonna be available soon, like May 2nd. Pre-order online? Sounds stressful. I’d rather just browse in person, see the sparkle, touch the metal… you get me?
It’s weird, though, because YSL started as, well, not jewelry, right? It was clothing, accessories, the whole luxury fashion package. And like, the brand color code is black. Black! It’s such a minimalist color. It’s kind of surprising how they’ve branched out into these kinda bold, in-your-face jewelry designs.
Honestly, I kinda get the appeal. It’s like, “Yeah, I’m wearing Saint Laurent, and I want *everyone* to know it.” It’s not subtle. But sometimes, you don’t *want* subtle. And maybe that’s the point? Plus, you know, the brand has this legacy, this “cool” factor that just makes everything…well, cool!
But also, like, is it *worth* the price tag? That’s the million-dollar question (literally, sometimes, probably). I guess it depends on your budget and how much you love the brand. And how much you really, *really* need that YSL logo on your neck.
