Description
This authentic 96P brooch showcases the interlocking CC motif in a sculptural, high‑shine gold tone with subtle vintage patina. The pin‑back closure makes it ideal for styling on blazers, coats, knits, and bags. Chanel’s mid‑90s jewelry is celebrated for its weight, craftsmanship, and unmistakable presence—this piece is a quintessential example.

Why It’s Rare
• 24k Gold Plating Era: Chanel discontinued true 24k plating in 2008, making mid‑90s pieces especially collectible.
• Season‑Stamped 96P: Jewelry from the 1996 Spring collection is produced in limited seasonal quantities and is increasingly difficult to source in clean condition.
• Classic CC Silhouette: The pure Coco Mark form—without added motifs—remains one of the most sought‑after configurations among collectors and stylists.
• Runway‑Era Craftsmanship: 90s Chanel jewelry was produced with heavier metal, richer plating, and more artisanal finishing than modern costume lines.
