Accessory Adventures: Susan Caplan Vintage Chanel figurine earrings

15th July 2011 1:00 pm

If you love bold vintage style as much as we do, these Eighties Chanel earrings by Susan Caplan Vintage will be going straight to the top of your jewellery box wish list.

While the solid gold setting exudes evening sophistication with just a hint of late Eighties power dressing, these earrings have an incredibly playful touch that will bring out the quirky side of even the most corporate business outfit.

Our impressions of straight-laced, pristine-suited jewellers behind polished counters can make the world of jewellery seem a very serious place, but these earrings are pure fun.

Caplan’s attention to the miniature inspires a childlike sense of fascination that will leave you examining this gorgeous pair again and again, noticing new features every time. The detailing on these earrings really is incredible, from the cross hatching on oversized studs to the pendent itself.

Chanel lovers will fall head over heels for Caplan’s quintessential Chanel woman figurine, who comes complete with mini 5.5 bag, signature Chanel three quarter sleeve jacket, Coco-esque brimmed hat and even the cheeky smile of a woman who knows she is impeccably dressed.

And if you look closely, you can even see the fastenings on the figurine’s jacket and the ruffles on her blouse. Two words: absolutely adorable.

Susan Caplan Vintage Figurine Earrings, £625, available at Matches.
