-SPECIAL- “CHANEL” 2017 Cruise Collection Pearl trimmed black pendant necklace

From CHANEL, which continues to reinterpret the codes that define its elegance—pearls, black, gold, and the iconic CC logo—across eras, we are pleased to introduce a necklace piece that captures the light, brilliant charm unique to the 2017 Cruise Collection.

At its core is a glossy black oval motif, framed by a ring of pearl-like embellishments, with a CC logo placed at the center. This is a CHANEL hallmark classic element, beautifully condensed into a compact pendant.

Since the pendant top is crafted in a vertically elongated oval form, it creates a natural vertical line from the neck to the chest. With its sense of radiance as a necklace, yet an overall look that remains neat and refined—this balance is its appeal. The glossy black panel produces a quiet reflection when it catches the light, and the contrast with the surrounding gold-toned and pearl-like parts imparts an elegant sense of depth.

The pearl-like embellishment set along the outer edge is one of CHANEL’s most important signatures. While it calls to mind a classic feminine image, its size is not overly large, making it well-balanced and easy to incorporate into everyday styling. The CC logo at the center is positioned as if layered over a rounded, pearl-like motif, so the brand’s symbolism doesn’t come on too strongly. Instead, it blends in with the overall quality of the jewelry in a tasteful, seamless way.

The chain is made of a slim gold tone, designed to complement the decorative appeal of the pendant top while ensuring the overall impression doesn’t feel heavy. Near the clasp, a CC logo charm is attached, allowing you to enjoy CHANEL-like meticulous details even in the areas involved in putting it on and taking it off. It leaves a refined afterglow not only from the front, but also when worn from the back.

As for its era, this piece is positioned as an item from the CHANEL 2017 Cruise Collection. It features the resort-like spirit and lighthearted embellishment associated with the Cruise Collection, yet the codes that symbolize the Maison—black, pearls, gold, and the CC logo—clearly express CHANEL’s signature classic elegance. The card included indicates “18” as the year and the date Jun 23, and together with the design, you can be confident in its authenticity.

In CHANEL jewelry, the combination of pearls and black is not merely a decorative choice—it is also a symbol of the elegance the Maison has treasured for a long time. Here, those classic elements are finished in a light, wearable way through the vertically elongated pendant form and a slim chain, making it an especially attractive option for those who want to add refined polish not only when dressing up, but also to everyday outfits.

True to the 2017 Cruise Collection, it carries a certain lightness amid its radiance, and its charm lies in the fact that it doesn’t lean overly formal. While enjoying the classic CHANEL spirit, it also maintains a balance that naturally fits contemporary styling—making it particularly recommended for anyone looking to add an elegant accent at the neckline.

For styling, pairing it with a simple blouse or a high-quality cut-and-sew top will clearly highlight the contrast of pearls and black. If you combine it with a tailored jacket, a no-collar jacket, or a drapey dress, you can preserve a CHANEL-like classic mood while adding the light, brilliant charm characteristic of the Cruise Collection—resulting in an elegant look that brings this piece to life.

Be sure to take this opportunity.
