I just can't resist them! The extra long ones are my favorite and so is the versatility to wear it crazy long, double it triple it or even sometimes quadruple it.  I go so overboard layering them I get called Mr. T. I can't pace myself. To me they epitomize all that is Coco Chanel. Classy, elegant and timeless. There is a complexity to their simplicity. Layering sautoirs is like an addiction.

You get the idea. This exceptional Chanel piece is seventy freakin' inches long …

This unique and rare charm necklace never seems dated and is not only funky and cool, but a definite conversation piece from the Spring 2004 Collection.  It's not just about the piece, it's always about the details with Chanel from the ridges on the record to the way the CC logo hangs lower so both charms can be appreciated.Perhaps it was Lagerfeld paying homage t …
