This is a vintage designer Chanel gold tone necklace made in France. It features faceted crystal and red Gripoix beads. Eponymously named, "Gripoix" glass was created by Augustina Gripoix, a French a glassworker who revived and refined an old technique of poured glass. Her daughter Susanne continued the tradition after Augustine's death in the early 1920s. Though the house of Gripoix had many important clients and commissions, it was the relationship with Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel that became the most iconic and enduring example of their work.
From the estate of Mrs. Charles R. Wood of Glens Falls, New York. Charles Wood, an entrepreneur and philanthropist, founded the Great Escape theme park and, along with actor Paul Newman, the Double H Ranch. 34"
