Vintage CHANEL Charm Necklace by Karl Lagerfeld – Triple Intaglio Ring Charms – Gold Tone – 1990s
A striking and highly collectible vintage CHANEL charm necklace from the Karl Lagerfeld era, dating to the 1990s.
Crafted in rich gold-tone metal, the necklace features a substantial twisted rope chain suspending an elegant cluster of iconic charms. The centerpiece is composed of three sculptural intaglio-style ring seals, each set with a cabochon-style resin insert in deep emerald green, garnet red and sapphire blue. The charms are complemented by a hammered medallion inspired by an antique coin, creating the unmistakable opulent Byzantine aesthetic that defined Chanel jewelry during the Lagerfeld years.
The contrast between the polished gold finish and the jewel-toned resin gives the necklace exceptional depth and presence. Worn alone or layered, it perfectly embodies the bold, luxurious costume jewelry that made 1990s Chanel so desirable among collectors. Karl Lagerfeld frequently revisited antique and heraldic inspirations, transforming signet rings, coins and historical ornaments into modern statement jewels.
