Gorgeous couture necklace from iconic Givenchy designer. Hubert de Givenchy launched his first collection under the Givenchy name in 1952, shortly before he turned 25, after several years as artistic director for Schiaparelli. Givenchy met the American actress Audrey Hepburn, who wore several of his pieces in the film "Sabrina," marking the beginning of their enduring friendship and professional collaboration. Hepburn also donned Givenchy creations in films like "Funny Face" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's,". Though Givenchy also dressed other celebrities, such as Jackie Kennedy, Lauren Bacall, and the Duchess of Windsor, his style was most closely associated with Hepburn. Givenchy expanded his high-quality accessories and costume jewelry in the late 1960s, with typical designs featuring gold- or silver-plating, heavy chains, glass, Lucite, rhinestones, and faux pearls. Vintage Givenchy jewelry was often signed with a stamp of the company name or variation of the "G" logo on the clasps. In 1988, the Givenchy label became part of the LVMH luxury brand. Hubert de Givenchy stepped down from the house that he founded in 1995.
