Vintage Chanel clip-on earrings with domed cabochons of green poured glass by the Gripoix workshop, each set in a scalloped gold-tone flower frame.
The Piece
Gripoix poured glass is the material behind Chanel costume jewellery's finest moments. The Paris workshop, founded in the 1860s, worked with Gabrielle Chanel from the 1920s, pouring molten glass into metal settings by hand so that each stone has its own depth, small bubbles and colour variation. Vintage pieces with true Gripoix glass are collected for exactly that quality, which no moulded stone can imitate.
These earrings frame a deep emerald-green Gripoix cabochon, flecked and luminous, within a chunky scalloped gold-tone surround shaped like a stylised flower. Each measures 3 cm across. The backs carry the round Chanel cartouche with the copyright and registered marks, a single numeral and Made in France, a style of marking used from the mid-1980s into the early 1990s, and the clips are the original hinged Chanel type.
The scale is generous but not heavy, and the green sits beautifully against both dark knitwear and bare skin.
They suit a black jacket or a simple sweater, in the spirit of Chanel's own habit of wearing costume jewellery with complete ease.
