Description
Model History:
Chanel costume jewelry from the 1980s and 1990s is renowned for its audacity, its manufacturing quality and its ability to combine style and functionality. The theme of the magnifying glass, used as a pendant, is recurrent in the house’s vintage collections, particularly under the leadership of Karl Lagerfeld. This type of necklace was often designed for active women, combining elegance and practicality, while subtly displaying the house’s codes: textured gilding, quilted emblem, discreet logo.
External Details:
The necklace is made up of a thick gold chain with curb chain, offering a beautiful hold and a fluid fall. The round pendant, approximately 5 cm in diameter, is made of gold metal engraved with crisscross patterns reminiscent of the famous Chanel quilting. It frames a real faceted glass magnifying glass, clear and scratch-free, which reinforces the utilitarian dimension of the piece. The double C logo discreetly tops the top of the pendant.
Interior Details:
The circular spring clasp is functional and secure, completed by a small medal engraved “CHANEL® Made in France” attesting to the authenticity of the jewel. The interior of the pendant is perfectly polished and the lens has no visual or optical defects. The whole thing is solid, well assembled, and demonstrates a finish characteristic of the house’s vintage jewelry.
Product Condition:
The necklace is in very good condition, with no notable loss of gilding or visible scratches on the magnifying glass or the chain. The clasp works perfectly and the pendant retains all its shine. Some very slight traces of time may be present upon careful examination, but do not alter the general appearance of the piece.
Care Tips:
Store the jewelry away from humidity and perfume to preserve the shine of the gold metal. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth, especially the surface of the magnifying glass. Avoid impacts to avoid scratching the glass and store in an individual case to avoid friction with other pieces.
