Important Coco Chanel Elaborate Byzantine Crucifix Necklace

Large and Important Moghul Style Necklace by Maison Gripoix. Luxuriously colored pate de verre, crystal pastes and faux pearls, completely hand made by Maison Gripoix and caftan ready. This is the kind of necklace that evokes a different time and place, as well as a style of living that rarely exists nowadays. The Iris Apfels or Dodie Rosenkrantz's would have worn this necklace, layered 10 deep, to a casual event in Venice or Palm Beach, bare feet in the sand. Exquisite quality in a process no longer used by the house of Chanel. Marked "France". Made in France 1960's. Excellent condition. The drop on tassel from necklace is 7". Tassel is 1.25" in width. Length is 24" with 6" extender. Width of links is 1.5" Another Short Example of this Moghul necklace...

Pearl and Emeralds. This elegant and classic combination takes on a different effect when supersized to this proportion. Chanel sticks to her established idioms and uses 3 strands of off-shaped and baroque pearls and beads for this massive sautoir interpreted for her by Gripoix. Each pearl and emerald pate de verre bead is hand formed and wire wrapped for strength. Some of the flawed emerald beads have been fluted before cooling and some have been left round. The nonchalance of this is genius. These beads are quite heavy and also very striking as are the earrings. UNSIGNED 32" to 38" lengths. Earrings: 3" Foto: Chanel crafting jewelry, 1957 image by Mark West...
