The 1980s represented a moment in time for exuberance in costume jewelry, seen particularly in large-scale pieces that incorporate large stones or swinging elements. Yves Saint Laurent, the designer of this pair, and other designers embraced faux stones with a fervor not seen since the 1940s, when large sets of matching faux jewelry served as a means of enlivening wartime suits. The striking color combination of this pair draws attention to the wearer's face and exemplifies the brilliant colors in vogue during the 1980s.
