Chanel CC Logo Turtle Earrings

Coco Chanel introduced the concept of costume jewellery and transformed the fashion world! Jewellery was primarily seen as a status symbol, made from expensive materials such as gold, diamonds and gemstones; Chanel broke with this convention by creating designs that were both stylish and affordable.

She brought chic and accessible jewellery to the wider public by using materials such as faux pearls, gold-tone chains and moulded glass.

Her elegant, simple designs, often featuring striking pearls, made costume jewellery an indispensable fashion accessory.

Chanel's innovative approach made her jewellery iconic. Today, original Chanel costume jewellery pieces are highly sought after by collectors. The value of vintage Chanel jewellery has risen enormously in recent years, as these items are not only fashion accessories but also symbols of Chanel's pioneering vision and lasting influence on the fashion world.
