A pair of Chanel clip earrings from the 98P season, made for the 1998 World Cup in France, each with a jewelled square top and a swinging soccer ball marked with the double-C.
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 has a white square top inlaid with coloured baguette stones around a clear central stone, hung from a gold chain above a white ball set with coloured facets. The ball is marked with the gold double-C and swings freely. The 98P stamp denotes the spring 1998 season, the year of the World Cup in France.
Each earring measures 47 mm (1.85 in) high by 20 mm (0.79 in) wide, and the fittings are clip-on. The pair shows visible signs of use. It is offered as earrings only, without box or pouch.
