1980s Chanel champagne colour Baroque style simulated pearl necklace. From the early part of the decade before Karl Lagerfeld and Victoire de Castellane were the creative directors for the House in fashion and jewellery respectively. This individually knotted, single strand sautoir simply slips on over the head and has a gold plated and engraved authenticity charm stamped Chanel, Double CC and 1981.

Made in France, this necklace is in superb vintage condition overall. The faux pearls are shiny with no marks. With glass baroque pearls, the nacre often becomes scratched, pitted and flakes off but here there is no such wear. The pearl knotting is intact with no stretch. One for the fine collector of costume jewellery and early Chanel pieces.
