✨ AUTHENTIC RUNWAY VINTAGE CHANEL LARGE MABE FAUX PEARL CLIP-ON EARRINGS ✨ An absolute masterpiece of vintage luxury! These iconic late 1980s / early 1990s Chanel statement earrings feature a magnificent central glass-based cream faux Mabe pearl cabochon securely housed inside a heavy, ornate 24K gold-plated interlocking openwork filigree rope frame. Pairs of this caliber represent the quintessential Chanel couture look showcased regularly on vintage platforms like Sotheby's. 💎 KEY DETAILS: • Design: Chunky round button silhouette with intricate braided/filigree metalwork surrounding a large half-pearl. • Finish: Substantial heavy-weight metal with Chanel's legendary 24K yellow gold plating. • Backing: Smooth omega clip-on backing bars with strong mechanical tension (perfect for unpierced or pierced ears). • Authenticity: Fully signed with the stamped oval designer signature plate on the reverse side. 💍 CONDITION REPORT: • Faux Pearls: Excellent vintage luster with a crack in the coating on one piece • Gold Plating: Uniformly bright, rich yellow gold color. Free from heavy oxidation or pitting. • Clips: Snaps tightly and functions flawlessly. As I was posting the pics, I noticed the mark in the coating on one earring. Since there is a crack in the coating, I’m tossing in another pair of slightly damaged clip Chanel earrings as well.
