Description
Model History:
This type of necklace follows in the tradition of costume jewelry developed under the impetus of Karl Lagerfeld in the 80s and 90s. During this period, Chanel reinvented pearls – the emblematic code inherited from Gabrielle Chanel – by combining them with gold and graphic elements to create bold, expressive pieces. This model perfectly illustrates this aesthetic: a fluid silhouette, measured brilliance and a well-placed signature detail.
Exterior details:
The pearls, made of hand-crafted resin, have a soft ivory patina with a subtle sheen. Each pearl is separated by fine gold links, visible between the interstices, which replace the traditional wire and reinforce the structure while providing a more worked jewel finish. The 24-carat gold-plated medallion in the radiating center, adorned with the “CC” logo, acts as a discreet yet distinctive focal point.
Interior Details:
The structure is fully articulated thanks to alternating pearls and links, guaranteeing flexibility and strength. With no clasp, the necklace is simply slipped on by the head.
Product Condition:
Very good condition. The pearls retain their homogeneous brilliance without loss of mother-of-pearl. The gilded medallion shows no noticeable oxidation. The set is stable and the links are perfectly attached.
Care instructions:
Avoid chemical or abrasive products. Handle with care to avoid scratching the pearls. Store in a case or pouch to protect the gilding of the medallion.
