From Chanel’s Fall/Winter 1996 collection, this 24k gold-plated crystal turnlock belt is peak Karl Lagerfeld-era opulence: crystal-encrusted chain links anchored by a crystal-set interlocking CC turnlock that turns the closure into the headline. The design continues Lagerfeld’s mid-’90s exploration of chain belts as statement accessories, showcasing the period’s highest level of Chanel costume-jewelry craftsmanship, while the turnlock nods directly to the house’s most iconic hardware code, first introduced on the 2.55 in 1955.

Loved by stylists for its shape-shifting versatility, it can be worn at the waist over tailoring, draped low over a dress, or even styled as a necklace, and the 24k gold plating pushes it beyond typical costume jewelry into true demi-fine territory.
