A Short History...
This pendant is a perfect example of Christian Lacroix's beautiful baroque detailing and love of mixing textures, materials and colour. In the early Nineties, Lacroix was enjoying a time of great popularity. His work provided an antithesis to the minimalism of designers like Calvin Klien. Opulence lovers could visit his stores to splurge on jewellery that reflected their style. It is doubtless that this pendant would have made its way to the checkout with a daring fashionista.
Wear it With...
Pair this pendant with black jeans and a black blazer with gold buttons for a chic statement.
