Yves Saint Laurent Costume Necklace

Could this Yves Saint Laurent necklace have been inspired by a confectioner's treat--a divine swirl of Swiss chocolate, say, or one of those ever-so-scrumptious black & white cookies? Or are we just badly in need of an afternoon snack? Either way, the only word that accurately describes this piece is yummy. Strands of white and chocolate brown pearls link to a fabulous swirled ornament, making a statement without all that gold.

Yves Saint Laurent Chocolate and White Pearl Necklace with Decorative Bauble, c. 1970s SOLD
