“Pearls are perfect for every occasion”, famously said Coco Chanel as she insisted on embellishing every outfit with lustrous strands of Gripoix glass pearls.
Gabrielle Chanel layered ropes of pearls around her neck and waist. Coco Chanel was the first designer to introduce faux pearls and glass pearls into her collections. The luminous glass pearls are immediately recognizable as classic CHANEL. Chanel wore her pearls with pajamas, evening gowns, to the beach and while hunting providing the perfect accent to her fashions and style. She found the luster and luminosity of the pearl captured the light and gave a flattering glow to the skin and the eyes. Jewelry, and especially pearls, were for every day, not just special occasions. This opulent and versatile pearl masterpiece embodies the very essence of CHANEL – pure luxury.
