Chanel jewelry—both costume and fine—is among the most heavily counterfeited luxury categories in the world. From iconic CC-logo earrings and sautoirs to runway brooches, cuffs, pendants, and atelier-made Gripoix pieces, counterfeiters replicate stamps, plating, hardware, enamel, and materials with increasing sophistication. Many fakes now include forged oval plaques, incorrect date codes, misaligned hardware, artificial aging, and low-quality metals disguised as Chanel construction.
DJR Expert Guide Series, Vol. 371 — Real vs. Fake: Counterfeit Chanel Jewelry (Stamps, Hardware & Construction) provides the full forensic workflow used by professional luxury authenticators to distinguish genuine Chanel jewelry from modern replicas.
Inside, you’ll learn how experts:

Evaluate hardware engineering, solder quality, hinge construction, and fastener design
