Chanel - Gold-plated - Brooch

This sumptuous Chanel brooch is an iconic collectible piece, born from the historic collaboration between the house on Rue Cambon and the art jeweler Gripoix. A true masterpiece of haute fantasy, it perfectly illustrates the Byzantine and Baroque aesthetics dear to Gabrielle Chanel.
​The piece centers around an imposing central cabochon in nude/peach-colored glass paste, accompanied by the golden CC logo. This heart is set in a mount of metal with fine gold plating, surrounded by an airy geometric structure. Eight translucent cast glass cabochons, alternating square and triangular shapes, capture light with a clarity reminiscent of rock crystal. The artisanal technique of cast glass, signature of the Maison Gripoix, gives each stone a depth and texture unique, impossible to reproduce industrially.
​On the reverse, the brooch bears the oval signature disc guaranteeing its authenticity and French origin. Despite its vintage character, the gilding preserves a superb patina and the safety pin is perfectly functional. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a testament to the heritage of French fashion, a piece both sculptural and timeless that will enhance any luxury jewelry collection.
