Description
Model History:
Since its creation in the 1920s, the double C logo has become a strong visual symbol of the Chanel universe. Over the decades, Chanel has produced both classic and daring versions, often set with rhinestones or enamel to underline their jewel-like dimension. This brooch follows in the tradition of high-end costume jewelry initiated by Gabrielle Chanel, while reflecting the contemporary influence of modern collections where ornamentation becomes a visual statement. It’s not just a decorative accessory, but a true marker of style, emblematic of Chanel’s signature graphic elegance.
Exterior details:
The brooch adopts a black lacquered resin structure with a smooth, glossy finish. The double C, with its generous, regular curves, is entirely adorned with transparent crystals: round rhinestones alternate with square faceted crystals, carefully set in their crimps, creating a refined play of light. The whole rests on a gilded metal base visible from the back, subtly underlining the quality of manufacture. Balanced volumes and controlled brilliance give this piece a strong visual presence, without excess.
Interior Details:
The reverse side is in matte gold-plated metal, engraved with the CHANEL pastille confirming the authenticity of the piece. The fastening system consists of a fine pin mounted on a hinge, with secure closure. This discreet mechanism ensures a firm hold on different types of textiles, while respecting their structure. The whole unit is solid, smooth to handle and shows no signs of weakness.
Product Condition:
The brooch is in excellent condition. The black resin is perfectly polished, with no scratches or signs of wear. All rhinestones are present, well set, and retain their original brilliance. The clasp mechanism works smoothly and closes firmly. No chips or tarnish are visible, making this a ready-to-wear piece or a perfect addition to any collection.
Care instructions:
Keep the brooch away from direct light and moisture. Avoid contact with cosmetics or solvents to preserve the brilliance of the crystals and the shine of the resin. Clean gently with a dry microfiber cloth. When not in use, store the brooch in an individual pouch or case to avoid rubbing and preserve the stones.
