This is the replacement part it is authentic. It came off of a sweater. I have one that I have turned into a bracelet. I am happy to do that to yours if you would like I want to make completely clear. This is not a Chanel piece of jewelry. This is a replacement part. It is a metal emblem that was on a sweater that many people wear them as an affordable budget friendly way of wearing a piece of authentic luxury these make a beautiful statement piece and very reasonable price point to be able to gift someone luxury.
