History

Valentino Garavani founded his haute couture house in Rome in 1960. From his very first collections, he established himself as the undisputed master of Italian glamour – sumptuous dresses, intense colors, theatrical embellishments. His clients included Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor. His red: a shade so iconic that it bears his name. In the 1980s and 1990s, during the golden age of Italian haute couture, Valentino expanded his universe to include luxury costume jewelry, calling upon the excellent craftsmanship of Swarovski workshops for his crystals – cut with unparalleled precision and sparkle. These jewels, signed "Valentino" on the back, were designed to extend the controlled opulence of his couture dresses to the smallest accessories. Today, these archive pieces are highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs of vintage Italian fashion.

Period & Origin

1980s-1990s – Italy (Rome, Valentino S.p.A.) This period corresponds to the golden age of Italian haute couture and the peak of Valentino Garavani's creative influence. The "Valentino" signature engraved on the back of the jewel, the setting style, and the quality of the Swarovski crystals are characteristic of the house's luxury costume jewelry production during this decade. Made in Italy to the house's standards of excellence, with Swarovski crystals selected for their cut and brilliance—at a time when Valentino dressed the world's biggest icons and dictated the codes of Italian glamour.

Status

Exceptional condition for a 1980s-1990s archive piece. No flaws to report — all Swarovski crystals are intact and retain their original sparkle. The gold plating is impeccable, with no flaking or tarnishing. The clasp works perfectly. Please note: very slight, minimal micro-scratches from use, inherent to the piece's history and invisible to the naked eye, are part of the charm of an authentic vintage jewel. They do not alter its brilliance or elegance in any way.
