About the Item

Pierre Cardin’s preference, right from the start, was always for large jewels, and always designed in close connection with the garment, accentuating a predominant element of the cut, or drawing attention to a detail. Training essentially as an architect, he moved into fashion, working first for Paquin, them moving to Elsa Schiaparelli and , finally, Christian Dior, before opening his own house in 1950. Designing ground breaking fashion, very much in a ‘Futuristic’ style, his jewels and accessories were particularly inventive and spectacular, the jewellery - ultra-modern metal sculpture, the accessories - very cutting edge, beautifully executed and truly 'modern'.
