First page, bottom right hand side is the CC Turnlock bracelet in gold. It's $490 and most stores are already sold out. It is really cute in person - this photo does not do it justice! The Turnlock is the actual lock for the bracelet. They're calling it the Mademoiselle Collection from Fall Act 1 at the Boutiques.
Hi, Can someone please post a picture of the Coco Moon Necklace and tell me how much it retailed for? Thankyou!
Hi, I have a necklace belt with Coco sitting on HUGE pearls. Can someone tell me the official name and what it retails for? Thanks!
I've been waiting to do this reveal for a while. When I saw the Cruise book back in May, I knew I was in trouble. I had initially marked 4 pieces (3 brooches and a ring). In the end, however, I decided to scrap the ring and just get the 3 brooches. The first 2 arrived in the last couple weeks, and yesterday I got a call from my SA saying my last brooch is here. So here we go!
12C 'Camellia Festival' Brooch
A60222 Y02003 Z3070, $645 CAD
This one, in my opinion, is a must-have CJ theme for Cruise 2012. At the Cruise show in Antibes, they showed the RTW with Chanel Fine Jewelry pieces. 'Camellia Festival' is the costume version inspired by the Fine Jewelry diamond camellias used in the show. It comes in black strass and clear strass (note: the clear strass version is exactly the same as the 00V Camellia brooch). There are necklaces, cuffs, ear clips, rings, it's the perfect "get-the-look" theme without the fine jewelry price point.
12C 'Tapis Rouge' Brooch
A60237 Y09795 Z2048, $825 CAD
This piece is very similar to the 'Coco Luck' brooch I got from Fall-Winter. They actually used this same medallion shape for 4 consecutive collections (11A Act I 'Coco Luck', 11A Act II 'Black Forest', 12C 'Tapis Rouge', 12P Act I 'Stardust'), but each iteration is slightly different in color, material etc.. I love the irregular shape of the pearl cabochons as well as the color.

12C 'Majestic' Broooch

And finally, the pièce de résistance! This one is my favorite brooch of the season, because it's the most refined piece, and the details are amazing! I love the icy blue/gold color, and the use of glass pearls, strass and enamel is really effective. I also like it that the arrangement of the strass and pearls around the CC is not symmetrical. It's the perfect brooch, and unfortunately it's also the most expensive out of the three.

RECAP
That's it for me this year! And I don't think I'll be buying that many pieces from Spring 2012, I already saw both Act I and II, and nothing really jumped at me except for a Sea Urchin brooch, but unfortunately it was cancelled by Paris and won't be made for retail. I did, however, order a fine jewelry ring way back in August, it's supposed to take 4-6 months to arrive, so it should be arriving anytime soon. Who knows, maybe I'll do a reveal for that by the end of the year
