Description
Model History:
Since its beginnings, the House of Chanel has cultivated a symbolic language in which stars, pearls and camellia occupy a central place. Stars, in particular, appear regularly in costume jewelry collections, evoking the sky and the intuition and creative drive of Gabrielle Chanel herself, who believed in signs and talismans. This brooch is in keeping with this heritage, blending the celestial motif with the emblematic double-C structure to create a piece at the crossroads of jewelry and Chanel iconography. The alternating use of black resin and clear crystal also recalls the contrasts dear to the house, between light and shadow.
Exterior Details:
The brooch features a rigid structure in polished-finish silver metal, forming the interlaced CHANEL logo. One of the two Cs is clad in opaque black resin for a deep, lustrous effect, while the other is fully paved with hand-set white rhinestones, offering a subtle sparkle under the light. Two silver stars, embossed at either end, complete the design: one solid, the other slightly openwork, both set with a central crystal. The contrast between the dark material, the shine of the rhinestones and the silver metal creates a harmonious, dynamic aesthetic.
Interior Details:
The reverse side of the brooch is smooth, signed with an engraved oval Chanel medallion attesting to its authenticity. The fine, solid pin is hinged with a secure metal clasp. This discreet fastening system is well integrated into the structure, ensuring comfortable, stable wear on all types of textile, from thick tweed to light silk.
Product Condition:
The brooch is in excellent condition. No missing rhinestones, no scratches on the resin surface, no oxidation on the metal parts. The clasp is perfectly functional, the rigid structure and details (stars, outlines, engravings) are clean and well preserved. This is a very rarely, if ever, worn piece, which retains all its original brilliance.
Care instructions:
Keep the brooch away from moisture and direct light. Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes or abrasive products. Clean metal parts and rhinestones with a soft, lint-free cloth. When not in use, store in its case or an individual pouch to avoid rubbing.
