Description from the seller

This is a vintage gold ribbon brooch from the brand Balmain.

It belongs to the vintage fashion jewelry line of the French luxury brand Balmain. The "BALMAIN PARIS" logo on the back clearly identifies it as a brand piece, and it is one of Balmain's iconic works from the 1980s and 90s, where they integrated "clothing tailoring aesthetics into accessories."

Core Design: Inspired by the three-dimensional pleats of ribbons, the lines are smooth and dynamic, replicating the natural drape and pleats of haute couture fabrics—a typical style of Balmain's "fashion jewelry." The surface has a rich luster, and the textured back is delicately finished, retaining the refinement of metal while enhancing visual depth through the three-dimensional design, meeting the brand's high-end fashion jewelry craftsmanship standards.
