What image of Chanel is complete without her trademark strands of pearls? Iconic and elegant, I'm sure we're all thankful to Chanel for popularizing the look. Lately though, I'm more interested in her lesser known signature pieces. A girl after my own heart, Chanel was not shy about rocking some serious statement jewelry and wore one of these Verdura maltese cross bangles on each wrist. Verdura is definitely not in my price range--nor am I brave enough to sport the double cuff--but these versions above from Kenneth Jay Lane for HSN are quite the convincing copies, don't you think? I wouldn't expect anything less from KJL.
Coco's style is certainly enduring. Why not try to make one from old items?
ReplyDeleteThose cuffs have been in KJL's collection for more than 30 years...he was the original copier of Coco's originals :)
ReplyDeletePS. I have the cuff in white-it is TO DIE FOR!
Those are really something!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh these are so cool! What a great idea to make updated versions!
ReplyDeleteLuvs!
Wow, the blue one is really pretty! L-o-v-e all things Coco. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with these---was looking at the HSN version just last week! xx
ReplyDeletebig bold and absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately i can never wear bangles as my wrist is too small :(
Those are fabulous- she was a style icon! I love a big chunky cuff or stackable bracelets!
