1980s Chanel Purple Gripoix Earrings

These earrings were designed by Victoire de Castallane for Chanel in 1991. They featured in the Spring/Summer 1991 collection, and were shown in a green version on Linda Evangelista (pictured). They feature a raised square etched design surrounding a glistening purple gripoix (hand-poured glass) stone. Early Chanel jewellery was always 24ct yellow gold-plated and these stunning earrings are no different. The designer's signature is located below the clip fastenings on both pieces, and they are also engraved with season "25" which corresponds to the year of manufacture, 1986. A stunning combination of kitsch and classic, these are a wonderful addition to any collection of Chanel jewellery.

These glamorous earrings have seen little use in their lifetime and are in very good vintage condition. We have had Chanel put new comfort backings on for the lucky new owner. Please check the measurements below carefully.
