<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MaJa, post: 1969825, member: 14649&quot;]The above shown 1980s jewelry, esp. the &quot;cross&quot; necklace in the center is inspired/based on the Byzantine jewelry/goldsmith works. </p><p>Starting around 1955 Coco Chanel designed Byzantine/Venetian inspired jewelry collections and continued this in the 1960s. Later other courturiers/high fasion houses such as YSL or Dior adopted the style until it trickled down in the mainstream an reached its pinnacle in the 1980s. I still think that they are great statement pieces that can still be worn today, though maybe without the shoulder pads (some things belong to oblivion).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
