A small detail from a very particular moment in fashion
This pendant was once the zipper pull of a Chanel bomber jacket from the 1980s. A piece that would have been worn by a woman embracing that shift in style, where relaxed silhouettes met unmistakable luxury. In Paris, this wasn’t about dressing down. It was about dressing differently. Effortless, but always considered.
A quiet nod to Coco Chanel’s love of pearls
The design leans into something more timeless. The Chanel motif formed entirely from tiny seed pearls feels closer to Coco Chanel’s original vision, where pearls were part of everyday dressing. Even within the boldness of the 1980s, this detail holds onto that sense of restraint and refinement.
Effortless to wear, impossible to overlook
Set in solid sterling silver, this is the piece you reach for when you want to feel pulled together without overthinking it. It sits beautifully on a simple chain, but equally well alongside a strand of pearls. It works with what you already have, and becomes part of how you wear things, rather than something reserved for occasions.
