Chanel Round Openwork Faux Pearls Earrings

• Brand: Chanel
• Period / Year: 2020s
  
• Style: The style is distinctly glamorous, feminine and iconically Chanel. These earrings combine classic house heritage – such as the CC logo, pearls and geometry – with a modern, striking appearance. Ideal for both evening looks and luxurious everyday styling with a twist.
• Materials: The earrings are made of a gilt metal alloy, with a rich gold-tone finish. They are set with clear rhinestones around the upper CC logo and along the edges of the circular pendant. The round pendants are further decorated with white faux pearls and gold-tone letters that together form the word CHANEL.
• Design: The design consists of a round top piece containing a small CC logo, surrounded by sparkling crystals. Below hangs a large, openwork round pendant, in which the word CHANEL is graphically incorporated with interspersed pearls. At the centre sits a gilt, raised CC logo, providing recognisability and balance in the design. The combination of symmetry, logos, pearls and sparkle makes this a real showstopper.
• Fastening: The earrings feature a stud fastening with a transparent backing for extra stability and comfort. This keeps the earrings hanging nicely straight.
• Dimensions: Length 5 cm, width 3.5 cm
• Signed

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 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 with 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, because these items are not only fashion accessories, but also symbols of Chanel's groundbreaking vision and lasting influence on the fashion world.
