CHANEL RARE COUTURE GRIPOIX POURED GLASS GENUINE GEMSTONE 1995 BROOCH
Exquisite and Very Rare Limited Series CHANEL Couture Gemstone Brooch
Only few of this model were ever made and each is entirely unique due to the one of a kind nature of genuine gemstones making each piece completely original. An exceptional marriage of quintessential CHANEL: luminous Gripoix poured glass, gilt bronze and woven leather chain is now elevated with the introduction of a rainbow of natural gemstones. Emerald Green Russian malachite, Blue Lapis Lazuli, and Rich, Earthy-hued Jasper and Agate create a kaleidoscope of luxurious colors. As often is the case with exceptional CHANEL accessories in limited editions, there's more... As a central focal point is an enormous Maison Gripoix raspberry poured glass cabochon in all of its molten light-refracting splendor. Encompassing all of the hues from cherry red to Magenta then Burgundy depending on the source of light. Four faceted crystals in red and green take this jewel to the next level of SPECTACULAR.
