“This is just good wrist drama. It was designed by Ugo Correani, one of the great unsung heroes of costume jewelry design in Europe, and one of the talents we champion in our overall vintage jewelry collection at LaDoubleJ.com. Anna was close with him. He worked behind the scenes for so many great houses, especially Gianni Versace, and produced just exceptionally beautiful, quality-made pieces.”

“A set of Chanel cage cuffs? I don’t think you can really go wrong here. These don’t have Chanel’s logos on them, which means they were prototypes that Karl Lagerfeld likely gave to Anna in the mid-1990s. I love that.”

“You don’t often see these big-boy vintage Chanel chain necklaces. It’s from the same family as the gold metal cage cuffs with black leather ribbon work—so it was likely part of a whole group. The charms have Chanel written in an unusual, nonstandard font.”

“This Chanel gold chain-mail belt has glass cabochons that look like rubies and emeralds and leather fringe, which give it a very Catherine-de-Medici-on-a-motorcycle vibe. The craftsmanship is absolutely stunning, and it’s just so chic.”

“These are one of the few pieces in Anna’s collection that are not Chanel. The designer is unattributed, but they are my absolute favorite piece. They look like tortoiseshell boat propellers!! They’re sold separately, but I might cry if anyone buys one without the other, as it would be sacrilegious to separate them.”
