Vintage Chanel CC Hoops

A pair of fabulous clip on vintage Chanel gold earrings from the 1980’s.

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, is said to have pioneered the market for “costume” jewellery in the early 20th century, encouraging women to wear their fine and fashion jewellery together, unheard of at the time.

When Lagerfeld joined Chanel in 1983, the brand’s familiar CC logo was also featured more and more prominently in the design work he oversaw (and this trend is alive and well as fashion-minded shoppers and logo-enthusiasts continue to drive this segment of the market today). Gold-plated metal was used widely in Chanel pieces during this era as well simulated baroque pearls. Charm bracelets, large pendant earrings and sautoir-length strands of faux pearls from the ‘80s and ‘90s are all popular with collectors as are pieces imitating the famous twist-lock clasp originating on Chanel handbags.
