Chanel Necklaces

Chanel's costume jewellery has been part of the house since Gabrielle Chanel made faux pearls fashionable in the 1920s, and it is now some of the most collected jewellery in pre-owned luxury. Our authenticated pre-owned Chanel necklaces include CC logo pendants, long pearl sautoirs, chain-and-pearl layers, vintage poured-glass pieces and runway statement necklaces from past seasons.

Most Chanel necklaces are gold-tone or silver-tone plated metal, so the plating is what to check: look at the CC, the clasp and the chain links for wear or fading. Faux pearls should have an even coating without chips. Many pieces carry a small oval plaque near the clasp stamped with the season and year, which helps date them. Every piece is inspected and graded on our Condition Guide and covered by our Authenticity Guarantee.

Vintage or recent?

Vintage pieces from the 1980s and 1990s tend to be heavier, with thicker plating. Recent seasons are lighter and more playful. Both hold their appeal well.
