Description
Model History:
Fancy earrings have held a special place in the Chanel universe since the 1980s, under the artistic direction of Karl Lagerfeld. He made jewelry a strong identity extension of the collections, using house codes such as pearls, aged gold and the CC logo. This model embodies this spirit, blending Byzantine references and classical romanticism with the use of pearls, a material symbolic of Coco Chanel’s heritage.
Exterior details:
The top of the buckle is a square with rounded corners, adorned with floral and abstract motifs in relief, chased in gilded metal with an antique look. In the center, the CC monogram stands out clearly, reinforcing the brand’s signature. A spherical synthetic pearl with a mother-of-pearl finish hangs below, adding movement and luminosity. The whole measures approximately 4 cm high by 2.5 cm wide.
Interior Details:
The back of the clip features a hammered finish, with the CHANEL hallmark engraved on an oval pastille, attesting to the authenticity of the jewelry and its French manufacture. The clip mechanism is sturdy and comes with a pad for more comfortable wear. The articulation linking the pearl to the upper motif is discreet and well integrated.
Product Condition:
The clips are in very good vintage condition. The metal retains its gilding with some light traces of patina, consistent with the age of the piece. The pearls are intact, with no chips or discoloration. The fastening system works perfectly, with a good hold on the ear. No noticeable deformation or fragility.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity, perfumes or cosmetics to preserve the gilding and pearly lustre of the pearls. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store clips in an individual box or fabric pouch to avoid rubbing or scratching.
