Chanel Jewellery Second Hand

Karl Lagerfeld Then and Now

Karl Lagerfeld is a German fashion designer based in Paris. The man is considered a visionary, being seen as one of modern fashion's most iconic people. Lagerfeld began working in fashion in 1955. His first job was working for the legendary designer Pierre Balmain. In 1958 he had gathered enough confidence to go it alone, founding his own line of clothing. When his personal line fell flat he ended up working for Chloé which is considered his most impressive work to date. He left Chloé for a brief stint at Fendi before joining Chanel as head designer. Today he continues to design for Chanel while maintaining his personal lines. He is also known to collaborate with many high-profile retailers and designers, leading to some impressive collections.

The Story of Chanel Jewellery

Chanel’s love affair with jewellery began in the 1930s with the brand’s first collection of bespoke trinkets. This flagship collection of Chanel bracelets, rings and other items was inspired by the constellations and included a highly sought-after, star-shaped diamond brooch. In direct contrast to Chanel’s penchant for relaxed clothing, the brand’s jewellery collection has always been ostentatious. Coco Chanel herself was known for her love of pearls, rarely seen without a string of them around her neck. It comes as no surprise that her jewellery collections would be anything other than opulent. Today, Chanel necklaces is as desirable as ever, with vintage pieces selling for tens of thousands of dollars.

All That Glitters Is Gorgeous

Chanel jewellery is the epitome of glamour. The brand has never cheaped out when it comes to jewels, designing decadent collections bursting with diamonds, rubies and gold. Inspired by the glittering of stars and by the glamour of Coco Chanel herself, the brand’s jewellery is a testimony to old-world luxe. Costume jewellery springs to mind when viewing a collection of Chanel treasures. Brooches encrusted in precious gems, strand upon strand of pearls, diamond rings the size of apples - if any of these ring your bell, then a Chanel brooch or bracelet is definitely for you.
