Vintage Chanel Paris Spring 1994 Maison Gripoix Pearl Cross Necklace

Vintage Chanel Paris Necklace

This remarkable vintage Chanel necklace from the Spring 1994 Collection is an extraordinary example of the maison’s historic collaboration with Maison Gripoix, the famed Parisian atelier celebrated for its couture-level poured-glass jewelry. Designed around an iconic cross pendant, the piece is adorned with luminous faux pearls set in sculpted gold-tone metal, embodying the bold elegance that defined Chanel’s early 1990s aesthetic.

The cross motif has deep roots in Chanel’s heritage, appearing throughout her collections as a symbol of strength, spirituality, and artistic expression. In this 1994 version, the influence of Gripoix is unmistakable — from the soft radiance of the pearls to the dimensional, hand-crafted setting that gives the pendant its couture presence.
