.. Yves Saint Laurent: 1988 Georges Braque Birds - Tribute Necklace

.. This is a glorious piece. I can only assume this was made as part of the famous 1998 runway collection that featured a tribute to the artist Georges Braque. As you can see, the dresses from that collection featured huge, swooping birds in the nearly exact style as this necklace.

..The necklace features 4 birds, 2 sets in mirror image of eachother. The metal is gold tone, likely gold plate as it is very brilliant like true gold. It is a long necklace, as you can see in the first photo it will hang well below the bust. It is a bold and striking piece.

condition: good. There are darker areas on some of the birds. It is possible its an intentional patina, but could be some kind of tarnish. The general look of the necklace is very good and wearable.

The longest strand measures about 32"
The shorter strand measures 22"
The largest bird measures 4" x 2"
