I have tons (not kidding) of Chanel costume jewellery. You really pay for what you get - some of the expensive pieces are really very well made.
I would avoid faux pearls because they turn yellow after a while. But there are other pieces which are very pretty. Small bits and pieces do tend to fall off but then Chanel usually fixes it for me for free. Go for special designs. Also, some pieces are very difficult to imitate because the cost is just not worth it. So actually there are fewer fakes than handbags. Do your research and you cannot go wrong.
Oh my goodness! I just invested in 2 beautiful brand-new, single strand, long Chanel necklaces. Both are very different from one another, however, both DO contain some form of "white pearls". Sadly, are these bad choices? And I should be avoiding Chanel necklaces with "white pearls" for fear of them turning yellow over time? Any/all information, suggestions, advice ... are greatly appreciated. ✨
I have not worn them, tags are still intact, and since they arrived yesterday and today, I still have time to return/exchange.
