Red and Blue "Directives" Modernist Rope Collar Necklace By Monet, 1980s

A dazzling relic from Monet’s coveted Directives collection — crafted during the illustrious YSL era, when Monet was manufacturing jewelry for Yves Saint Laurent — this 1980s statement necklace embodies pure couture sophistication. Featuring intertwined cords of vivid crimson and cobalt blue, it’s adorned with bold geometric gold-tone panels inlaid with glossy lucite in matching hues. The result? A sculptural, color-blocked masterpiece that channels both Paris runway energy and avant-garde modernist art. Fierce, fearless, and fabulously ’80s — this is power dressing in necklace form.
