This authentic “Edouard Rambaud Paris”piece is an expressive stylenecklace, made in France. It is a “Baroque revival” or “maximalist” style, characterized by large shapes, textured gold-colored metal, imitation pearls, and strong spiral motifs. The clasp is a very original hook decorated with ornaments. Such designs were not massively repeated even in “Rambaud”’s work – he usually used flatter or asymmetrical shapes, and this necklace is extremely symmetrical and monumental. Most “Edouard Rambaud” necklaces have pendants or hanging elements, and this one is a solid, segmented necklace with integrated texture, which makes it unusual and rare. Such a design has not been repeated later or passed down, so it may be very attractive to collectors and fashion historians.
Edouard Rambaud is considered one of the most famous Parisian fashion jewelry designers of the 1980s and 1990s. During this period, Edouard Rambaud was most active and collaborated with Chanel, Christian Lacroix, and also created his own collections. His pieces are now considered collectibles – especially when in good condition, with a clear label.
