Hi! Not sure where to post this, but hopefully I’m in the right place!

I bought these earrings a few years back and my bf dropped one on the floor and the one pearl fell off+lost the “sheen” on the outside.

I’ve taken them to a few jewelers but they won’t touch this as it’s not real gold or pearls.

Any tips as to where I can get similar pearls and just glue them on myself? I’m assuming that’s the way to fix them but I’m open to input! I’m based in Norway btw. IMG_0005.jpgIMG_0006.jpg

Use Gorilla Glue. It’s tough, but is easy to remove from your fingers. The CCs fell off of the arm of my sunglasses. I used Gorilla Glue and they have stayed put.

Thanks for the tip!
But the enamel or whatever the coating is called has fallen of one so I can’t just glue it back on unfortunately ‍♀️

You should just buy new faux pearl cabochons to replace the former, as you will never be able to fix them. And glue too. :)
I wouldn’t advise nail polish as it will crackle and take a yellowish tone in time.

Chanel repairs costume jewellery. Repair cost is not cheap though. So I suggest you bring them to the Chanel store to inquire.
