AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and rare vintage 1970s necklace made by Archimede Seguso to a Chanel design.
The design reproduces the famous molded glass chain motif, typical of Seguso glassworks for Chanel between the late 1960s and the 1970s. The necklace is made of blown and molded glass elements in a refined two-tone pink (soft pink and a deeper pink), interspersed with small glass pearls and dark spacers that enhance its structure.
The overall effect is luminous, feminine, and highly recognizable, expressing the perfect fusion of French haute couture and Venetian glassmaking tradition.
Features:
• Maison: Chanel (attributed)
• Designer / Manufacture: Archimede Seguso, Murano (attributed)
• Period: circa the 1970s
• Origin: Venice, Italy
• Materials: worked glass, glass pearls, gold-toned metal elements
• Color: two shades of pink
• Necklace length: 47 cm
• Link dimensions: about 3.5 × 1.7 cm

This type of glass jewelry is documented in specialist literature on Italian costume jewelry. In particular, a necklace belonging to the same stylistic line, made by Archimede Seguso for Chanel (Venice, 1969), is published in the following reference volumes:
• Bianca Cappello, History of Italian Costume Jewelry, Skira
• Bianca Cappello – Augusto Panini, Glass Jewelry. From Prehistory to the 3rd Millennium, Antiga Editions
This series, characterized by colored glass elements linked in a chain with gold-toned metallic details, represents one of the most iconic and influential models of Murano production for Chanel.
