I’m a Chanel lover for life. Wether it’s bags, shoes, jewelry, I love it all. And Vintage Chanel sometimes is better than new! I own a clothing and jewelry line and I have gobs and gobs of jewelry unworn and samples everywhere. I certainly don’t NEED any more jewelry but I am still obsessed with Chanel jewelry. Every time I go to the boutique I love to see their new pieces. My husband got me this ring for my birthday and I can’t stop wearing it, it’s my favorite thing ever. It’s been posted on my instagram a few times (apologies if you are sick of seeing it! haha)
I’ve been to a couple of vintage Chanel trunk shows and I LOVE looking at the jewelry. Shopbop has a fab section of vintage Chanel and I love seeing their selection.
In my research I’ve found a few authentic re-sellers of vintage Chanel jewelry.
Vintage Five is a seller from Japan but they have an easy to navigate website, free shipping and also a boutique on Malleries. They also have this great page to help you distinguish between the fakes and the real thing. (My caveat: I have not ordered from here personally but just did some research on the web and they appeared to have good reviews and they do take returns)
Yoogi’s Closet, who I mentioned in my Where to Buy: Vintage Chanel Bags post, also has a small section of vintage jewelry. I love that they have the J12 watches as I’d never buy one at full retail but would definitely consider a pre-loved one.
Lastly, I got confirmation from the girls at the Purse Forum that Vineyard Vintage sells authentic pieces and they have quite an extensive selection so definitely check them out if you have a particular piece you are looking for. They also have a great page to help with authenticating pieces. Great to bookmark on your phone if you ever come across a vintage piece while antique shopping and you’re not sure of the authenticity.

December 26, 2013 at 1:26 pmI found something I wanted to purchase on Vintage Five and then I set out to find out more about them before completing my purchase. Thank you for posting the results of your Web research on Vintage Five, stating they have good reviews and take returns, because I wasn't coming up with much on my Google search. Your remarks saved me a lot of searching around on the Web, and so I was able to just go ahead and make my purchase from Vintage Five. I bought a gorgeous necklace, black with gold logo on the pendant part. Thanks again! I like your other information and will check that out too. You rock!
