Chanel Charm Bracelets
Opening a shop at 21 rue Cambon in Paris in 1910, entertainer-turned-milliner Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (1883–1971) turned heads with her wide-brimmed hats. This humble start would flourish into one of the world’s most famous fashion empires, with enduring designs ranging from perfume to jewelry that included everything from diamond earrings to gold charm bracelets.
Chanel started selling clothing in 1913 and introduced her costume jewelry — bracelets, necklaces, rings and more — in the 1920s, when the economy was roaring and fine jewelry was the main mode of adornment among her clients. Fearless about giving offense, Chanel proclaimed, “I love fakes because I find such jewelry provocative, and I find it disgraceful to walk around with millions of dollars around your neck, just because you are rich.”
As a couturier in Paris, Chanel would go on to make the little black dress famous, develop the iconic Chanel No. 5 fragrance and design the Chanel suit. But she also found success in accessories, namely handbags and jewelry. Chanel was in part responsible for the rise of chic costume jewelry, as the trendsetting designer loved to wear a mix of authentic precious stones alongside glass copies of gems.
While wearing charms as amulets and talismans is an ancient practice, they grew in popularity as fashion accessories during the 1920s and 1930s and then saw a surge in demand in the 1950s. The house of Chanel designed a number of pieces over the years, from its first costume jewelry accessories in the 1920s to contemporary statement pieces. And the charms have regularly echoed the favorite emblems of its founding fashion icon, from the celebrated double C logo and Coco’s favorite flower — the camellia — to her lucky number 5.
