Chanel Vintage 90s Red Gripoix Teardrop Necklace in 24k Gold Metal

Description

Vintage CHANEL Gripoix glass pendant necklace featuring a deep‑red poured‑glass stone set in a gold‑plated teardrop frame. The pendant hangs from a bold rope‑link chain and is topped with a CC bale, a construction detail reserved for higher‑tier boutique and couture jewelry. The poured‑glass stone has the signature Gripoix translucency and organic depth, giving the piece its unmistakable jewel‑tone glow.

Why It’s Rare

• Authentic Gripoix poured glass. This hand‑poured glass technique is no longer used in modern CHANEL, making vintage examples increasingly scarce.
• CC bale construction — a premium hardware detail produced in small batches and typically reserved for boutique exclusives.
• Survival rarity — poured glass is fragile; intact stones with original plating are uncommon.
• Rope‑chain configuration — a heavier, more architectural chain style used primarily in 80s–90s statement jewelry.

Condition: 

Very good vintage condition. Glass stone is vibrant with no cracks. Gold plating remains bright with some surface wear consistent with age.
