Dating from the Golden Era of oversized CHANEL ear studs, the 1980s celebrated the jumbo, massive and hyper-elegant Gripoix glass pearls to frame the face and finish a statement look. Made in dozens of variations throughout the years, the 1980s versions are the true classics and a must-have in every jewelry wardrobe. One needs only to try a pair on to be instantly seduced by the luminous glow and immediate elegance they bestow. This exquisite pair, meticulously handcrafted in gold plate bronze and embossed with the Maison's calling card are a unique ode to Coco's Parisian apartment and store. Opened in 1910 as Chanel's first boutique, 31, rue Cambon in the 1ere arrondissement is the legendary Parisian address that is engraved along the circumference of these showpiece earrings. To make the calling card complete, the boutique's telephone number, 42.61.83.35 continues the important information. In 1985, France added the prefix "4" to all Parisian 7 digit telephone numbers. Big, bold, glossy and golden this sublime, iconic earring is destined to be your Go-To for all occasions!
