Awe Inspiring Vintage Ilias Lalaounis 22k Gold Ivy Leaf Necklace

Regular price$40,000.

Featured in his 1984 book Metamorphoses, this stunning statement necklace by Ilias Lalaounis drapes seductively on your neck. We love the deep, rich color and tone of the high karat 22k gold highlighting the intricately designed ivy leaf links of this Byzantine inspired heirloom.

It is fitting that Ilias Lalaounis is the only jeweler ever inducted into the prestigious Académie des Beaux-Arts. The renowned Greek jeweler's creations are less adornment and more works of art. Favored by Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor and other noted jewelry collectors, you will covet this museum quality creation always.
