Costume jewellery is an integral part of Chanel, a tradition going back to the 20's. Back then, Mademoiselle Chanel worked with specialist costume jewellers to create innovative pieces that were well ahead of the times. Her love for layering (specifically necklaces) eventually soon became a signature style.
A century on, the French fashion house continues to champion the world of these fun jewellery pieces. Signature motifs like the CC logo, the number 5 and Mademoiselle Chanel’s beloved pearls rise to new heights in this dazzling array of costume jewellery from the #CHANELSpringSummer pre-collection. A statement strap elevates the gold bracelet (SGD4910), as each link comes emblazoned with crystal diamantés for a more-is-more effect. There’s also the long necklace (SGD2740) for you to channel your inner Coco. This season’s interpretation features a mix of glass pearls and a leather-interlaced number 5.

Love a matching set of classic Chanel jewellery pieces? These earrings are here to dazzle their way into your hearts. On the left, the hoop earrings (SGD1310) certainly make a statement with their oversized format and lambskin-interlaced detailing that’s a Chanel signature through and through. The one on the right might look like a pendant (SGD1820), but don’t let it fool you.
They are essentially long earrings with three chain strands that cascade downwards. Decorated with hearts or diamantés-embellished CC logo, the earrings are equal parts fabulous and fun as they adorn your ear and neck. Each is a timeless, keepsake-worthy piece that you can keep wearing year after year. And that sums up the beauty of these fancy jewellery pieces from Chanel.
