Description
History of the Model: The 1990s marked a prolific period for costume jewelry at Chanel. Under the leadership of Karl Lagerfeld, accessories became central elements of the house’s style, playing on accumulation, contrasts of materials and the emphasis on the logo. This model, from the Spring 1995 collection, is fully in line with this dynamic by combining strong visual codes – CC logo, hammered gold, black/gold contrast – with a classic shape reinterpreted in a more assertive spirit.
Exterior Details: The clips have a diameter of approximately 2.5 cm. The central part presents a rounded black cabochon, smooth and shiny, on which the golden CC monogram stands out. All around, a twisted edge in gold metal provides a textured finish and recalls the baroque inspirations often used by Chanel in its costume jewelry creations. The circular shape and moderate volume make it an easy piece to match, while remaining visible and distinctive.
Interior Details: On the back of each buckle is the authenticity stamp engraved “CHANEL © 95 CC MADE IN FRANCE”, confirming the provenance and date of manufacture. The clip mechanism is securely fixed and equipped with a small transparent plastic pad to improve wearing comfort. The internal finishes are clean and well executed, without traces of oxidation.
Product Condition:The clips are in very good condition. The gilding is intact, shiny, and without noticeable tarnishing. The black cabochon is smooth, with no deep scratches or visible defects. The logos are clear and well fixed. The clip systems work perfectly, providing good hold. No repairs or modifications have been made to the parts.
Maintenance Tips: Avoid direct exposure to humidity, perfumes or cosmetic products to preserve the gilding and shine of the cabochon. Clean with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Store away from light in a box or soft cloth to avoid friction and shock.
Why Choose this Product: These Chanel clips from 1995 represent a perfect balance between sobriety and character. Their discreet but expressive format, combined with the house’s iconic materials and finishes, makes them an ideal choice to enrich a collection of vintage jewelry or to accessorize an outfit with a marked touch of elegance. Their excellent condition reinforces their appeal, both for personal use and for an investment in iconic Chanel pieces.
