2000s

France

A dramatic multi-strand necklace from Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz era, composed of oversized faux pearls and faceted black crystal-style beads in an asymmetrical draped construction. The piece balances classic pearl jewelry codes with a darker, more theatrical sensibility, using contrast, scale, and layered movement to create a distinctly editorial effect. Elegant yet bold, the necklace reflects Elbaz’s celebrated approach to runway jewelry, where traditional glamour was reworked through exaggeration, modern romanticism, and sculptural presence.
