Real vs Fake Coco Chanel Pendant: How to Spot the Difference (Protect Your Investment)

Okay, so I’ve been wanting to make a Coco Chanel pendant for a while now, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I’m no jewelry expert, but I figured, how hard could it be, right? Famous last words, I know.

Real vs Fake Coco Chanel Pendant: How to Spot the Difference (Protect Your Investment)

First, I gathered all my materials. I found this neat little double C template online. I printed it out and then cut it into cardboard. I also grabbed some clay, a rolling pin, a sharp knife, some paint, and a few other things I thought I might need.

Next up, I rolled out the clay until it was nice and thin, just like a cookie. Then, I carefully placed the cardboard template on top of the clay and traced around it with the knife. Let me tell you, cutting that tiny shape out was way harder than I expected. My hands were shaking the whole time, and the clay kept sticking to the knife. But eventually, I managed to get it done. Then it was baked in the oven. I baked it for a few hours, and then waited for it to cool.

After that, I took my baked little pendant, and decided to paint it all black. I added a few coats to make sure it was nice and even. I waited for a day, and I took my white paint and paint two little dots in the C. It turned out pretty good, and I made sure it was completely dry before moving on.

The final step was adding a jump ring so I could wear it as a necklace. I carefully attached the jump ring to the top of the pendant, and then I added a chain. And voila! My very own handmade Coco Chanel pendant. It’s definitely not perfect, but I’m pretty proud of it. I’ve been wearing it all day, and I’ve already gotten a few compliments.

What I Learned

  • Patience is key. This project took way longer than I thought it would.
  • Clay is tricky. It’s not as easy to work with as it looks.
  • It’s all about the details. Those little dots of white paint really made the pendant pop.

Overall, it was a fun little project, and I’m glad I did it. I might even try making another one, but maybe next time I’ll use a different material. Any suggestions?
