An EMERALD GREEN fantasy. How about three generous strands of 30 smooth, verdant Gripoix glass losange nuggets ready to caress your neck with luxury? They may not be emeralds, but this luminous vintage Gripoix glass is dripping with opulence. A massive center medallion is set with a square Gripoix poured glass cabochon and sparkling crystal surround. The gilt metal medallion pendant is set with an elaborate filigree of acanthus leaves, Fleur de lys and volutes framed with a circular twisted gilt rope. The grandeur of the chunky emerald glass pebbles is a testimonial to Gripoix's secret pate de verre technique that imbues light and intense pigment in an exceptional crystalline effect. Not only an exceptionally beautiful and unique jewel, but of equally historical importance. In 1982, the Maison CHANEL was on the verge of monumental change. Karl Lagerfeld along with his three young assistants, among them, Hervé Peugnet (Léger), were busily preparing the "Changing of the Guard" for the 1983 debut at the revered house. In this amazing jewel, we have a glimpse of what is to come from the enormously talented Lagerfeld: Modern, Bold, Youthful, New Proportions all with an excessive profusion of spectacular jewels. A Must-Have treasure for the true CHANEL connoisseur.
