This versatile CHANEL wardrobe essential is propitious to being dressed up or down. The quintessential CHANEL necklace in Gilt metal with 9 round medallions representing Mademoiselle Chanel’s affinity with the lion. Gabrielle Chanel was born on August 19, 1883 under the sign of Leo. Majestic, indomitable and wild, the lion was more than her astrological symbol, it also embodied her radiant personality and served as an inspiration for many of her creations. Devastated by the loss of her great love, Boy Capel, in 1919 Chanel fled Paris to Venice, the city of the lion. There, Coco found the courage and strength to go on. Throughout her life, Chanel kept figures of lions, the emblem that would be engraved upon the buttons of her tweed suits. The lion is truly the spirit animal of Chanel.
