The capsule collection was launched in 1984. Created by the André Vassort workshop, this set is now appearing at auction for the first time. Acquired at the time by the current owner's parents, these jewels embody the chic, audacious jewelry of the 1980s, sublimated by the aura of one of the world's most famous Frenchwomen.
