Vintage Chanel costume jewelry is very desirable, rare, and valuable. There's a lot on 1stDibs, which says a lot. I looked around on Google and the only similar floral brooch pieces I could find was this modern stuff that's made out of what looks like ripped up old fabric, and its selling for 3-$500?? Anyone ever seen a glass piece like this before? Its marked "98 / A" which apparently means it was made in the fall of 1998.
I can't find any other pieces of this "line" on Google though, still searching. I can't believe this ripped up old ugly fabric stuff one sold for $400...
Jewelry is an odd field for a guy to specialize in, but I love it because its small, valuable, and always holds its value. Plus I know a heck of a lot about it : )
The value is in it's beauty and the name adds more.
Is this glass or some other?
Stunning find!
Yes the petals are French art glass
Beautiful piece of design and craft.
Thank you : )
I love love love this brooch... It's stunning... I have hundreds of brooches but don't have any Chanels... Gotta save up for one... :)
So beautiful!
Have you tried using Gripoix as a keyword for this camellia brooch? Petals without bezel are less common but a couple will come up.
Yeah I did actually, I think I found one?... Can't remember.
I would love my man to know more about jewelry than I do! ;-)
Oh well, he has other qualities.
Great brooch!
Lol Newtimes, thanks
