Chanel Heraldic Double Lion Brooch
About the Item
Whether they were Lions or Leos, Chanel was fiercely aligned with them throughout her life. This heraldic form brooch has obvious royal connotations. In her life she had many interactions with royals but in many ways probably felt they were the privileged ones.
Goossens reinterprets her majestic dablings as a crest, a pair of bronze lions holding a golden orb.
This Goossens brooch is also available as a singular lion or as a lion belt from the same series. 2 5/8" x 2"

- Gripoix for Chanel Barbaric Medieval Round BroochBy Maison Gripoix for ChanelLocated in Riverdale, NYChanel's Barbaric Medieval round brooch of unusual and irregularly claw set poured glass emerald, ruby and sapphire irregular cabochons and prong set crystal strasses. This brooch is from the period when Chanel jewels were still made completely by hand. This Maison Gripoix brooch demonstrates the technique and quality available to the Chanel ateliers in the early 80's under Karl Lagerfeld. Each "stone" is of hand poured glass by Maison Gripoix, but, more significantly each prong is hand crafted prior so that these molten drops of glass can fit within them to give the appearance of "claw set" stones. The entire brooch is then backed on a gilded bronze back plate which acts like a mirror or reflector in giving these the glass stones "life" as raw tumbled emeralds, sapphires and rubies. It was Mlle Chanel's wish to elevate "faux" jewelry and this is clearly demonstrated in this instance. It takes extraordinary technique and experience at the jewelers bench...Category
