Vintage Christian Lacroix Brutalist Segmented Choker

THE GYPSY QUEEN CHOKER

A festival of gold. A spectacular, asymmetrical masterpiece that captures the very soul of the Lacroix house: the meeting point between Baroque opulence and Bohemian freedom.

Christian Lacroix didn't just design jewelry; he told stories. This choker tells the story of the Arlésienne woman—proud, festive, and adorned in her accumulated treasures.

The design is a masterclass in Couture Asymmetry.

• The Structure: On one side, sweeping, striated lines of gold evoke the movement of a flamenco dancer's skirt or an architectural wing.

•   The Anchor: A massive, central solar medallion acts as a shield of power.

•   The Movement: A cascade of textured golden coins and charms ("pampilles") spills down one side, designed to catch the light—and the eye—with every turn of the head.
