–SPECIAL– "CHANEL" 21's Vintage-inspired ornate plaque rope chain bracelet

Chanel, under Coco Chanel, deliberately replaced noble jewelry with imitation pearls and alloys, freeing women from decorative constraints, inheriting the spirit of costume jewelry, and under Virginie Viard’s direction, reconstructing the maison’s traditional symbols with modern sensibilities, presenting an exquisite masterpiece.

The heavy metal plate at the center exudes a sculptural beauty reminiscent of belt buckles from the 1920s or archive designs, making this piece a true masterpiece.

First, the eye-catching feature is the intricate decoration of the main plate, with a rope-like relief around the edges that highlights the internal details like a frame, and embedded line stones in the CC logo at the center emit a serene shine every time they catch the light. The embossed CHANEL typography layered over it makes the logo transcend mere brand assertion, bringing a depth reminiscent of a craftwork integrated with the texture of the metal.

The chain connecting the plates features delicate double rope links, which add organic curves to the straight plates, creating rhythm in the silhouette when wrapped around the wrist, and making the metal lines on the skin appear more graceful. Additionally, a small CC logo charm swings at the end of the adjuster, and the meticulous Chanel-like design, which entices lingering eyes every time the arm moves, is beautifully executed.

From the perspective of added value, it is extremely important that this piece belongs to the special line of the 2021 Metiers d'Art collection, which celebrates craftsmanship, and vividly reflects the era when Virginie Viard, after Karl's death, elevated the maison's codes to be more decorative and closer to everyday life.

A decisive element confirming the era is the engraved 21A mark on the clasp side, and the modern care book with an FSC certification mark based on environmental considerations, which clearly prove that the item is from 2021 as physical evidence, making the provenance more secure and strengthening its asset value.

This masterpiece, while loving the distinctive weighty style of vintage Chanel, also perfectly caters to those seeking the modern lightweight feel and the high-condition of recent models, offering a sense of elevation by wearing a part of Chanel's history, not just an accessory, in everyday life.

In terms of styling, peeking out from the cuffs of a neat jacket or a simple knit with this plate adds a mode-like tension to your outfit, and if paired with a minimal dress, it has the strength to complete the overall elegance with just one piece of jewelry without choosing a bag. Even with clean outfits like slacks and shirts, the classical ornamentation of this bracelet adds depth and leads to a sophisticated impression that transcends gender and era, making it a must-have item for those seeking a reliable piece that can be loved for a long time.

Take this opportunity.
