Luxury fashion house Balenciaga introduces its latest selection of jewelry with the arrival of its BB Necklace silhouette in two colorways. The tonal options include either a shiny silver coating of an antiqued gold option -- both of which are made from brass materials.
The design draws inspiration from the classic dog tag necklaces that were prominent during the 90s. The jewelry adds a curb chain for a chunky structure to match the dog tag pendent before it is enclosed with a clasp detailed with "BB" as a touch of branding sensibilities. The antique gold finish is more textural and grainy in comparison to the shiny silver. Both of the BB Necklaces are complete with the brand's moniker through engraving processes.
