A striking example of Cardin's 1980s style. The use of Italian manufacturing highlights the attention to detail and quality that defined his accessories. With their dramatic design and bold elegance, they capture the essence of Cardin's unique vision during one of fashion's most extravagant and daring decades.

Pierre Cardin, the celebrated French-Italian designer, began his career in haute couture, working with renowned fashion houses like Dior before launching his own brand in 1950. Known for his futuristic and avant-garde approach, Cardin revolutionised fashion with innovative designs that broke traditional norms. By the 1980s, his work fully embraced the bold, dramatic style of the decade, featuring oversized proportions, geometric shapes, and clean, sculptural lines. His jewellery from this era reflected the same forward-thinking aesthetic, combining statement-making designs with high-quality craftsmanship.
