This was issued for the 2007 collection and its inspiration is based on the original design first produced and created by Robert Goosens in the 1970s for Chanel. It is very large and has a good solid weight to it. The metal is a matte gold in color. Poured into each linked piece is Gripoix glass that has a touche of a glitter worked through the glass. The colors are kept soft and the glitter gives just a hint of sheen deep within the glass for a very beautiful effect. Three rounded crosses drop at the front, each increasing in size until the largest cross that is a full 3 and a half inches wide. The last cross is stacked with an extra layer of detailing in its construction. Each dropped portion of the necklace is topped with a large glass pearl. This comes to me straight from the closet of a high profile fashion editor. Excellent condition

15" long including the 8" drop. The largest cross is 3.5" wide. Adjustable. Lobster claw clasp. I see no markings but I know the source and I also did take it into Chanel and the girls recognized it immediately. Made in France. Guaranteed authentic. Original box.
