Chanel Akoya Pearl and Diamond Drop Earrings, 18K Yellow Gold, Case and Service Certificate

Chanel chandelier earrings in 18K yellow gold, a diamond-set cross at the top and three strands of graduated akoya pearls falling beneath.

The Piece

Chanel was founded by Gabrielle Chanel, who opened her first Paris shop, a milliner's, in 1910.

At the top of each earring a pearl rests above an X of diamond-set gold. Three strands fall from it, one of diamond-set bars and two of pearls, in sizes that grow towards the lowest drop, the pearls separated by small gold links so that they swing and catch the light.

Each earring measures 44.5 mm (1.75 in) high and 13 mm (0.51 in) wide, with akoya pearls from 5.0 mm to 7.0 mm, and the pair weighs 14.1 g (0.5 oz). The clips are stamped Chanel and 750 and carry a serial mark. The pair has been polished and finished, and a service certificate, a booklet and a case come with it.
