Givenchy began producing gold jewelry in the 1970s with particularly strong presence in the 1980s. The brand’s jewelry, including gold pieces is known for its bold luxurious designs and is often associated with the “power dressing” aesthetic of that era. Givenchy signatures such as: Givenchy Paris New York or Givenchy are usually found on an oval plaque and those made between 1975-1980 will be dated. The 1980s saw a significant expansion of Givenchy’s jewelry line with bold gold pieces including the iconic 4G logo on earrings and chunky chain necklaces becoming popular. Vintage Givenchy jewelry particularly from the 1970’s and 1980’s, remains highly sought after by collectors and fashion enthusiasts today.
