YSL multi-colour glass and hand-painted ceramic beads long necklace (vintage)

YSL Multi-Colour Glass & Hand-Painted Ceramic Bead Long Necklace, Circa 1970s

A joyful cascade of colour and texture, this vintage Yves Saint Laurent necklace from the 1970s features an eclectic mix of old glass beads and delicate hand-painted ceramic beads. The ceramic elements are decorated using a traditional Japanese art of painting, lending the piece a refined, artisanal charm.

The playful asymmetry of bead sizes and tones reflects the bohemian spirit of the era, while the long strand allows for versatile styling — wear it long or looped for a layered look.

Complete with its original YSL tag, this piece is a rare collectible from the house’s most free-spirited period.
