The CHANEL epic Autumn 1994 collection, otherwise known as the “Faux Fur Runway”, was filled with iconic collectible looks. Victoire de Castellane’s sublime jewelry looks were not the focus on the runway, but were a smashing Sold-Out success in the stores. One such coveted piece was the reimagined vintage love-locket/ pocket-watch necklace featured here. The Iconic and very rare CHANEL antique gilt metal functioning locket charm on leather link woven chain is a modernized version of a Victorian-era keepsake. Historically, lockets evolved from amulets which were popular throughout Greek and Roman eras. Symbolizing both luck and love, they fit seamlessly into the Lucky Charms of the Maison CHANEL. Made to hold a precious object like a lock of hair, a lucky charm, a photo, a wish to manifest or a small love letter near one's heart, their symbolic purpose gives the wearer a highly personal private meaning. The ruby red Gripoix cabochon and engraved doubled-sided CC gives a celebratory couture touch. This is the original 1994 Autumn collection necklace by Karl Lagerfeld and Victoire de Castellane made of gleaming gilt metal intertwined with black lambskin leather which are the timeless symbols of CHANEL.
