Vintage Substantial Statement Necklace made for Chanel by the Artisans of Maison Gripoix. 

Multiple twisted strands of jewel toned (emerald, ruby & sapphire) pate de verre beads terminate on either end with Chanel's often used design motif of gripoix cupped petals.

The pate de verre has a slightly opaque deep rich appearance that allows this beautiful necklace to be colorful but not flashy (please note: colors were difficult to capture in photographs despite being taken in different lighting conditions).

Decorative gold plate box clasp adorned with a large emerald green gripoix cabochon.

It is possible that this clasp is an older replacement (see below for more details) .
