Chanel Earrings and Ring

I told myself I was going to stay at home to complete my work. An online search, and a phone call later, urged me on a frenzy to Singapore’s Chanel. In an hour and a half, I dash to the store, bought my items and got back home.

I have been waiting for an ENTIRE year for this little baby. I spotted it on a forum a year ago, and fell in love with it. I called boutiques everywhere, and they were all sold out. A year later, Chanel re-released them for their Autumn ‘09 collection. Since when do they do that?

I abide by the “if it was meant to be” policy, so I won’t feel upset when I can’t lay my hands on something I really like.

So a year later, “it’s meant to be!”CC bags

Bags with goodies, just waiting to be opened.

Chanel boxes

CC boxes. What is inside?

I highly suspect that these Chanel earrings just arrived, but who cares! Look at this antique looking classic beauty. It’ll sure age gracefully with me.

Chanel earrings

Ain’t they pretty?

Chanel Earrings

This is it! This is the baby that I’ve been waiting for ONE year.

The pearls have swirl marks on them to replicate the natural look of a pearl. I chose a pair with the most symmetrical lines out of the few I can choose from. (PS: so if you have been looking for this pair of Chanel earrings like me, now it’s the time. Singapore outlet still carries a few pairs).

I love the antique look of the earrings. And, because of this additional crystal cap, the Chanel earrings look way much more proportional than the pearl CC with a drop of pearl.

And as I was in the store, I couldn’t help it. Blame it on my sister’s psycho-ing skills. But, I got this ring as well. It’s one of the nicest Chanel rings ever. I’ve a soft spot for anything glittery. I like bold chunky rings as well. I was really lucky as I managed to secure the last new piece.

CC Ring

Gold and glitter, bold yet dainty. I like!

A close up!

Meanwhile, I shall just upload a picture of my crystal CC logo earrings. Apparently, the house of Chanel has decided to discontinue this pair of earrings. I have no idea why did they do it, because a year ago when my sister bought this for me, they said it was a permanent collection. Then again, if the LV french purse wallet had a seasonal red that was in the store for like forever, and later production for it was abruptly hauled; I’m not surprise that the house of Chanel can pull the same trick as well. So if you’re looking forward to buying them. Cross your fingers. Cross them really hard.

Although, Chanel has decided to do a mini-version of this CC logo, and this version looks dainty and good for people with small lobes or like petite accessories. My sister bought one of it. (PS: There was one more left in the store). It looks equally good.  Small cc

Big meets small

Big meets small.

My sister also purchased this pair of antique gold earrings from Chanel as well. I like! I’m so glad that my sister and I share similar taste. I’m so going to raid her accessories bin. Sister's CC

Nonetheless, we made it out with a couple of earrings and a ring.

We made one SA very happy.

hi dear, how much is the interlocking CC earrings for both the big one and the small one?

i hope the price didn’t vary much cause i feeling like getting both. haha.

Hello! The big one is $410, but I got that a year ago, and the SA did tell me that they stop producing the big one. The small one is $360. It was last season’s, but Chanel should still be producing them. =) Chanel always has swarovski interlocking CCs. I wish you luck!

Hey :) Do you mind sharing how much did the first pair of earrings & the ring cost? The first pair is really pretty! You have great taste :)

Hi Ying,

Thanks for the compliment. It sure did brighten up my day =).
The first pair of earring is called Le Duc, it costs me SGD$420. The ring costs me a little bit more, I purchased it for SGD$450. Both items are not available in the Singapore’s branch anymore, but I did see it being sold on ebay sometime back.

Hey there. The smaller earring, how much was it when you first buy it? Thanks loads!

And, is the diamonds real diamonds?

Hi, the smaller earrings are SGD$360, but they were from the last season. Unfortunately, these are swarovski crystals. If they were really diamonds, they’ll be really hefty!

hi! is it possible for you to give measurements or rough estimates for the sizes of the classic chanel earrings?! im contemplating buying a pair but not sure which size to get! thank you so much in advance!

Hi! The bigger CC measures 1.5 cm in length and 1 cm in height. As for the smaller CC, it measures 1 cm in length and 0.8 cm in height. I heard that both made its come back in Cruise 2010. So good luck!

hi i like to know which place will i be able to get the interlockin chanel earrings.. it is so pretty..

Hi, you can try getting them from Chanel boutique at Ngee Ann City. 91 Orchard Road # 01-25/26/27 Ngee Ann City Singapore 238872. They will be opening another stall at the IRs. I can’t ensure that the interlocking CCs will be the same as mine; but, they most often have a variety of them for you to choose from. Good Luck!

hi,
wat to loo out for auth chanel cc logo earrings and i bought 1 from a ebayer and it doesnt come with the sponge in the box and the sticker at the side of the box. May I know whether doees the cc logo earrings made in silver or stainless steel coz if it is made of silver will in be easily oxidised thanks

Hello =)! I am assuming that you purchased the silver tone earrings and not the gold tone earrings.

Chanel accessories, earrings included, rarely come in full 925 silver. Also, even if they are stainless steel, they are plated 925 silver.

It is good to note that the silver earrings does not tarnish whether it is plated 925 silver or pure silver. For example, my CC logo crystal earrings which are made of 925 silver has yet to tarnish. On the other hand, my sister’s CC logo crystal earrings which are plated 925 silver are also maintaining its sheen.

What you will really want to look out for is whether the earring that you have purchased has this tiny imprint on the back of the earring. Most of Chanel’s accessories have the stamp that indicates which season it is from (e.g. A09 - autumn 09) and where it is made (either in Italy or France). Though, please do note that if the “C” is too thin, it will be impossible to do some imprint, hence some earrings will not have it.

Hope it helps!

hi,
thanks so much for the info =) i saw a 09 at the back of the earrings, however does the box determine its authenticity? What if the backing of the earrings is lost can we get a new plastic backing from chanel?

A year ago, I asked the SA the question on the backing. She told me that we can purchase the backing of the earrings from them. Although, I am not sure if we need to show them the pair of earring or the receipt prior to purchasing them.

I will not place so much emphasis on the box, as the importance is that the pair of earrings is authentic. After all, there are a lot of good counterfeit of boxes and packaging - think Tiffany blue boxes.

However, if you must, the box usually has a sticker of the item (which you mentioned earlier yours doesn’t). The inner cover has the Chanel Paris printed on a white satin-like material. The inner box itself has a layer of black velvet. The outer box has Chanel stamped on it. And the overall feel of the box is that it is hardy and cannot be deformed easily.

Hope that helps!

Hi! I am looking for the first pair of chanel earrings whcih you’ve posted! Do you have any idea if it is still available in Singapore’s chanel stores? Thank you!

Hello! Sorry for the delay in response. I went to Chanel boutique yesterday and they don’t have the chanel earrings that you are looking for. They do however, have a golden version with swarovski crystals. I heard from the SA that new arrivals for Act 2 will be coming in mid-march. =)

Hi you mean stocks for the first pair will be coming in mid march? Thank you!

The SA did not explicitly say that the same exact pair is coming in; but they did say that they will have new items and usually the classic stock are re-stocked.

hi dear~!
i really need your help here. it’s a long story but i might be cheated by a friend.

can you pls give me the article number for the chanel ring u bought?

my friend told me that taiwan has it, but i doubt so. will need to clarify with taiwan’s SA by calling them before i transfer my friend the cash to ask her help me get the ring.
thanks alot~!

Hello. They brought the ring back to Singapore. Mine is A41863Y02003Z2800. Hope that helps! Although.. if it’s a new batch, the number will change.

thanks sweetheart~!!! the one u see in sg boutique recently is the same one as u bought?
fell in luv with the tsarina ring since 2 mths back but had to wait cuz my boss delayed pay. by the time i got my money, all sold out! =(

Yeap! I was totally shocked to see it. I was like… that… looks… like… my ring! And it was. Well, just keep your fingers crossed, coz… nothing is impossible at Chanel. If it can come back once, you never know when it’ll come back again. Just remember to keep a stash of cash for that ;)
