Okay, I just came back from the boutique after looking at the book for Paris-Moscou. I tried to jot down as much info as I remember.
To sum up the themes for costume jewelry, there are a lot of military-influence pieces, lots of red and gold, very imperial Russia, lots of pearls, lots of details (duh it's metiers d'art!). Most of the pieces you saw from the show retail for around 5k to 7k. There are a couple more affordable pieces but not a lot.
There are a lot of small pins and brooches, the ones worn by the male models on the big coats. They come in a star motif, number 5, coco's face and a couple other ones. They're meant to be worn in clusters.
There was this other large one in strass that is kind of interesting. It retails for around $1,400.
The following themes are the ones that I'm interested in. Although the Boutique in Vancouver didn't order a lot of them because they were too pricey.
Matriochka
Like 'Paris Souvenirs' 06C, 'CC Beauty' 08A, and 'Carousel' 08A. The 'Matriochka' is a very detailed collector's piece. The doll itself is very 3-dimensional, adorned with a tiny enamel camellia on the head. It comes in full range, pendants, earings, jewelry belts, key chain etc.
The one worn on the model's head is actually a jewelry belt. That one retails for around $5,000.
The large 'Matriochka' A41883 pendant (it comes in smaller sizes, some with a dangling CC) is around $800. The
The baby 'Matriochka' earrings with dangling CCs are $700.
The resin cuff A41882 with the 'Matriochka' face in brushed gold metal and 3 white enamel camellias is $1,300.
Tsarina
This is my favorite one. It's a jewelled bow, kind of like 'Marquise' from 08P. It's kind of like a silver metal filigree bow with CC and strass. It also has a dangling CC on the left ribbon that's hanging down.
It comes in a choker, brooch. There are smaller versions of it on pendant necklaces and earrings. The brooch A41862 is $1,400.
Russian Pearls
I don't have any pictures from this theme. But basically it's inspired by the pearl tiaras the models wore in the show. The tiaras are not for sale and are just made for the show. But it translates very well to a costume jewelry theme. It's very similar to 'Woven Pearls' from 06A.
There are necklaces, bracelets, and 2 brooches.
The smaller one is a bit smaller than the classic CC strass brooch.
It's basically a CC logo brooch with different sized pearls and crystals. The pearls are more of a peachy, champagne-y color instead of the usual white pearls from Chanel. Then there's a larger one that's around the size of the big CC necklaces on ropes.
The smaller one A41892 is around $300, and the larger one A41897 is around $500.
Crystal Bouquet
This is a very decadent and expensive theme. Think 'Camellia Bouquet' from 09P but more dramatic and in a sea-green type color.
The necklace pictured is one of the pieces from this theme.
There are a wide range of brooches that are more wearable but very expensive.
One of them is a cluster of camellias with very geometrical metal pieces sticking out. That one is around $1,100. The style number is A42064
There's this other one that's like a baroque cross. It has 4 fresh water pearls and a lot of semi-precious stones. This one is $7,000.
