Women’s One-of-a-Kind Belt – Silver Buckle with Malachite Cabochon
Rare buckle by Roger Scemama for Yves Saint Laurent
This one-of-a-kind women’s belt is an exceptional piece at the crossroads of haute couture heritage, jewellery design and contemporary craftsmanship. It features a rare vintage buckle designed by Roger Scemama for Yves Saint Laurent, one of the most iconic collaborations in fashion jewellery history, which shaped the bold aesthetic of the 1960s and 1970s couture era.
The authentic YSL logo engraved on the back of the buckle confirms its provenance and originality, giving this piece true collector status. Highly sought after by fashion historians, collectors and connoisseurs, signed Scemama buckles are emblematic of Yves Saint Laurent’s visionary approach to accessories as sculptural statements.
The buckle displays an organic, sculptural silhouette, characteristic of Roger Scemama’s design language. At its centre sits a striking green malachite cabochon, with deep, hypnotic veining that evokes raw mineral beauty and sensual elegance. Malachite was a signature stone in YSL jewellery, prized for its intensity and dramatic visual impact.
The silver-toned metal, subtly patinated, enhances the raw yet refined character of the buckle. It rests on a semi-matte silver leather strap, chosen to echo the metal’s tone while bringing a contemporary edge to the piece. The leather strap has been entirely hand-crafted, ensuring both comfort and structure, while respecting the couture spirit of the original buckle.
Designed as a true statement accessory, this belt instantly transforms a silhouette. Worn over a black dress, tailored suit, couture coat or minimalist outfit, it becomes a powerful focal point, expressing a strong sense of style and appreciation for rare, meaningful objects.
More than an accessory, this belt is a collector’s piece, born from the dialogue between Yves Saint Laurent’s couture legacy and contemporary artisanal craftsmanship. It is intended for women who value authenticity, rarity and timeless elegance.
