Contemporary Chanel Jewelry

Chanel jewelry puts the fun in fashion. While Coco Chanel pioneered chic, minimalist styles for women’s clothing, she expressed her romanticism and flair for opulence with her jewelry. Contemporary Chanel jewelry, like the pieces originally released by the designer, is full of life, charm, and joy. Chanel devoted quality artisanship to the design and crafting of jewelry made with faux pearls and colored crystals in place of gemstones. Her goal was to democratize jewelry in a way undreamt of before her. She famously stated, “Costume jewelry is not made to give women an aura of wealth, but to make them beautiful.”

Modern Chanel jewelry is faithful to this maxim. Crystals sparkle like diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, and the luster of pearls is everywhere.

A recurring motif in Chanel contemporary jewelry is the use of pearls. Chanel believed “women need ropes and ropes of pearls.” Better yet, she felt the beauty of jewelry should be worn and enjoyed, not kept in hiding. In her day, opera-length necklaces of pearls and crystals, gold pendants, and sparkling earrings could only be worn for special occasions and only if they were genuine. Yet Chanel layered her ropes of faux pearls with gold chains and intricate pendants to accessorize her casual woolen knits and tweeds. She wore her Chanel cuff bracelets daily and always had her stud earrings in. 

Modern Chanel jewelry continues to honor the fashion legacy of this incredible icon. Whether you prefer contemporary styles or gently worn heirlooms of vintage Chanel jewelry, imbue your own look with a bit of Chanel magic.
