Just came across this replica set selling for $1,976!!!! The selling price is the same as the authentic one. We truly hope that no one will be fooled and purchase this replica set for $1,976.
Don’t be fooled by the pictures. If you take a closer look, you will see that the craftsmanship is not quite as exquisite as the authentic one. Notice, this particular style should have “FRENCH WIRE finishing” at the end of each strand of pearls. That is an iconic and detailed part that you will find on this kind of Chanel strand pearl necklace. . Take a closer look at the detailed pictures. The hallmarks/ stamps and the back part of the earrings make it fake.
The color looks off. The craftsmanship is not as exquisite as the authentic one. The detail of the stamp is so rough. It is missing the country where it was made. The earrings have a very rough look. The white petals and the pink center are flat and solid. The authentic one is with a layer of clear enamel on top. The back is clearly unfinished. The hallmarks/ stamps are very rough. The back of the earrings is a solid silver color while the front is with gold rim and gold cc logo. They do not match.
The craftsmanship is so bad, it is not even close to an “A” replica quality. Now let’s take a look at the Real thing.
The enamel is very clear and semi- transparent. Notice the “French Wire Finishing” at the end of each strand of pearls. Very fine etching on the hallmark/ stamp. It states in what country the piece was made. A layer of clear enamel is on the top of each petal. The back part and the front part of the authentic one match the design. Again, a layer of clear enamel coating on top creates a little bubble shape. The back should be identical like the front.
