Description
Very French, very symbolic, very Chanel!
This is symbolism in its purest form: the wheat, symbol of life and charity according to Coco Chanel, and the cross!
These two motifs from the 1930’s were among Coco’s favorite, accompanying her throughout her long life, and they both came into play in this massive brooch with its emerald pate de verre center, for a stunning effect.
Very French and very Chanel in design and concept, this unique brooch is easy to describe, but difficult to render. In a word, it exudes Chanel’s “DNA” to the core!
Collection: Circa 1960
