Chanel Turquoise Cabochon Clip Earrings, 94A, Gold-Tone, Boxed

A pair of Chanel clip earrings from the 94A season, each with a turquoise-blue cabochon above a hinged double-C in textured gold, shown with the Chanel box.

The Piece

Chanel was founded in Paris in 1910 as a milliner's shop by Gabrielle Chanel, and its interlocked double-C, drawn as a monogram, has marked the house's costume jewellery for decades.

Each earring holds a round turquoise-coloured cabochon, veined in black, in a plain gold rim, with a short engraved link below. A double-C in textured gold hangs from a hinge and swings with the wearer. The 94A stamp denotes the autumn 1994 season.

Each earring measures 55 mm (2.17 in) high by 25 mm (0.98 in) wide, and the fittings are clip-on. The pair is in near-unused order, with only faint marks from storage, and it comes with the Chanel box.
