no nothing wrong with the materials or workmanship (same applies for dior fj as well) and yes some of their fine jewelery pieces are well priced (compareable in mark up to their jeweler brand collegues like bvlgari etc ) but when it comes to haute joaillerie it is not only overpriced when compared to "real" haute joaillerie brands (as usually the higher the price the lower the markup but not with chanel) most importantly it is not an investment. and yes i do love haute joaillerie(as you know
) and never ever sold something but i just like the idea of hj beeing an investment and lets face it the bigger or renowned the brand name the better the value example: at sothebys etc a 10 carat ring from jeweler xy will never fetch the price a 10 carat graff or mousaieff will even if they are same quality. and chanel is not considered to hold its value. in fact i have seen pieces selling for a fraction of their original price (that have been bought years ago andf normally you at least fetch the original price if not more when it comes to hj)
so this is what i consider blowing money away but of course if you do not care about the value etc or the uniqueness 8they are mostly not one of a kind) then go for it and enjyoy it
