Vintage Chanel Mughal Style Glass Necklace, Circa 1930-1960s Attr Maison Gripoix

Gorgeous vintage early Chanel necklace in a classic Chanel color scheme of red and green glass beads with glass faux pearls and gilt metal beads strung on a fine chain. It’s about 18.5 inches end to end unclasped. I have had it professionally authenticated by a third-party authentication company and will send certificate information to the buyer. This style has historically been attributed as having been made for Chanel by Maison Gripoix - a necklace using similar components appears in Jewels of Fantasy: Costume Jewelry of the 20th Century by Deanna Farneti Cera on pg. 229 attributed to Maison Gripoix for Chanel circa 1950, and several auction houses have sold iterations of this necklace attributed to Gripoix for Chanel - but I’ve run into a number of pieces recently that were by Louis Rousselet for Chanel and have been misattributed to Gripoix, so while I believe the attribution to Gripoix is correct, I’m not 100% certain of that myself. Because paruriers were not typically credited alongside the design house in early haute couture jewelry, it can be difficult to be sure. See photos for details.
