Wear it long over a plain dress, double it over a knit, or let it fall beneath an open blazer.

Archive Notes

Chanel’s long chain necklaces grew from a house tradition of transforming jewellery into movement across the body. Repeated medallions give this piece a decorative rhythm suited to the layered dressing of its era.

Diorella selected this piece for its generous length, rhythmic house motifs and the survival of its original box.
