-SPECIAL- “CHANEL” 2013 high summer pearl cc cocktail ring

Since its founding in 1910, CHANEL has brought freedom and elegance to women's attire, reinterpreting iconic codes such as pearls, tweed, camellias, and chains across eras; we are pleased to present a superb piece whose glamorous ornamentation is distinctive of the Karl Lagerfeld era.

On a gold-tone metal base, pearl-like elements of varying sizes are arranged in a three-dimensional pattern, and with the Coco Mark layered at the center, this piece elevates CHANEL's long-developed feminine symbolism into a jewelry-like presence.

The square-formed ring top is not merely a decoration of lined pearls; by giving rhythm to the sizes and arrangement, it creates at the wrist both classic glamour and a modern sense of heft, and from certain angles the pearl luster and the gold metal's reflections overlap to reveal a compact yet richly expressive appearance.

At the center is a larger pearl-like component, with the Coco Mark layered atop, which elegantly avoids over-emphasizing the brand symbol and allows it to blend naturally into the decoration, resulting in a balance that lets CHANEL's iconic symbolism be enjoyed as refined jewelry.

On the back, a wide ring shank is employed, and by adding a fine textured pattern along the sides, depth is created beyond the front's flamboyance, delivering both wearing stability and a high level of sculptural finish.

On the back, the season plate bears the inscription B13 S, and its verification as a piece shown in the 2013 High Summer Collection is a major added value. In 2013, during the Karl Lagerfeld era at CHANEL, the house's classic codes were reinterpreted more ornamentally and playfully, adding bold playfulness to the timeless pearl motif, in a manner befitting costume jewelry.

The allure of this ring lies in its ability to elevate the overall impression of an outfit with a single addition, without leaning too formal, allowing CHANEL's distinctive splendor to seamlessly enhance everyday styling. In particular, the coexistence of the classic pearl's refined elegance with the modern contour of the square silhouette ensures you can enjoy not only a sense of refined sweetness but also a strong, fashion-forward presence.

As styling, pairing with a simple shirt or a blouse with a relaxed drape allows the ring's ornamentation to take center stage while highlighting CHANEL's poised elegance. Also, when paired with a tailored jacket or wide-leg trousers—a crisp, commanding item—the softness of the pearls provides a breathing space at the wrist, achieving a gender-neutral, sophisticated balance.

With the clear context of the 2013 High Summer Collection, this piece is a superb item worthy of a special collection, allowing you to enjoy CHANEL's symbols—the pearl and the Coco Mark—boldly yet gracefully. Please take this opportunity.
