Rare Chanel 2010 Paris-Shanghai Cicada Necklace Crystal Gold Tone 10A Metiers Art
Indulge in the ultimate vintage maximalism with this rare Chanel Cicada necklace from the iconic 2010 Paris-Shanghai Métiers d'Art collection. This heirloom-quality piece captures the essence of old money flair and regency glamour, featuring a stunningly detailed gold-tone cicada—a symbol of rebirth and immortality—encrusted with sparkling crystals and finished with the signature CC logo. Marked with the "10 A" date code and Made in France, this is a true collector's treasure from the Karl Lagerfeld era. Perfect for the mob wife aesthetic or retro chic styling, its provenance is unmatched, having been originally acquired in Shanghai during a great sourcing trip. A luxurious statement of art and history.
Collection and Design Context
Collection: Paris-Shanghai Métiers d'Art Pre-Fall 2010, which was showcased on a barge on the Huangpu River in Shanghai. The collection was a "fantasy" of Coco Chanel's imagined trip to China, blending Parisian style with Asian embellishments and imperial Chinese influences.
Designer: Karl Lagerfeld introduced the annual Métiers d'Art collections in 2002 to showcase the meticulous work of the various small artisanal houses (ateliers) owned and supported by Chanel.
Symbolism: The cicada is a prominent symbol in the piece, often associated with rebirth and immortality in ancient cultures. The collection also featured other motifs like the terracotta army and Chinese cinema influences.
Craftsmanship: The piece is described as having detailed gold-tone metalwork, encrusted with crystals, and finished with enamel in shades of green, pink, and yellow, characteristic of the high-quality craftsmanship of the Métiers d'Art collections. The items are often made with glass, enamel, resin, and crystal components, and some are hand-painted.
Authenticity: The item is marked with the "10 A" date code, which is an authenticity stamp indicating the 2010 Autumn collection. It was made in France, a common origin for Chanel pieces.
