Chanel is a registered trademark of Chanel. Rewind is not affiliated with Chanel All Gripoix glass jewellery is made by hand. It was in 1868 when it was first produced, and artisans in France are still making glass jewellery components now using the same techniques. Beads, cabochons, coated pearls, and other glass components like these will be found in jewellery made by Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Isabel Canovas, and Pierre Cardin along with other European couture houses. A limited amount of jewellery also bears the Gripoix name. It can take many man-hours to produce a single design. When glass is “poured” directly into a setting, it is sometimes evident when examining the back. Cabochon stones and beads usually have slight nuances from stone to stone since they are handmade, as noted in the Gripoix item shown here. It was too expensive, and still is, to use this type of French glass crafted by hand in lower quality jewellery. Many molded glass imitations, however, were used in less expensive, non-couture pieces.
