Afterward he was designated by Guy Laroche to be his successor in haute-couture, a truly high honor. He designed this bangle bracelet in the 70s for his couture accessories line. It's made from a clear transparent plastic resin in which inclusions of gold color flakes float about in an aqua, turquoise, blue that hugs the front of the bangle leaving the inside clear. Like blown glass there is the occasional tiny bubble pop and a slighty tactile feel on the outside.
