Cocobolo

Cocobolo is a rare Central American hardwood that Yves Saint Laurent chose to make this set out of. He would often incorporate rare woods into his jewelry as a stark contrast to the sleek polished glass and gem stones. This set contains two gold chain bracelets featuring wood disks, A pair of earrings and a necklace. The earrings are hexagonal wood disks set in a gold mesh backing and adorned with triangular amber color resin stones. The necklace is a chain of alternating wood and gold links with amber resin stones and circular wood disks hanging down. The natural warmth of this collection lends itself perfectly to any fabulous Summer ensemble. To learn more about this fabulous rare wood click here.
