Chanel 1996 CC Turnlock Brooch 24K GP
What began as a mechanism became a motif. The Chanel turnlock, first conceived as the defining closure of the house’s handbags, evolved into a symbol of strength and continuity. By enlarging the hardware detail into a standalone emblem seen on this brooch, Chanel blurred the line between structure and ornament, creating a piece that feels both industrial and elegant.
Features:
- 1996 autumn collection
- 24K gold plated
- pin closure
