COCO’S CUFFS

What image of Chanel is complete without her trademark strands of pearls? Iconic and elegant, I’m sure we’re all thankful to Chanel for popularizing the look. Lately though, I’m more interested in her lesser known signature pieces. A girl after my own heart, Chanel was not shy about rocking some serious statement jewelry and wore one of these Verdura maltese cross bangles on each wrist. Verdura is definitely not in my price range–nor am I brave enough to sport the double cuff–but these versions above from Kenneth Jay Lane for HSN are quite the convincing copies, don’t you think? I wouldn’t expect anything less from KJL.
