Product Insights

A 1970s YSL medallion, salvaged from authentic vintage jewelry, is hand-assembled in Paris onto a tarnish-resistant stainless steel gold-toned chain. Priced at $375 CAD—below the $595–$2,335 range of vintage YSL multi-strand pieces—it is offered in bi-weekly limited drops and is currently out of stock. The adjustable 16- to 18-inch lengths, with a 2-inch gap for layering without tangles, adapt to different necklines. A storage box is included to prevent scratches on the gold-tone finish, supporting the necklace's longevity and value retention.

Superbe

The necklace was all kinked & cheap looking

Shelley C.

The little box was shipped in the biggest box I have ever seen, sham on Simons for the waste of cardboard and with the little box being thrown around it was all tangled upon arrival. Also, for $375 the quality could be way better.
