Among the most poetic creations from Victoire de Castellane’s early years at Chanel, these extraordinary earrings celebrate nature through sculptural ivy leaves, luminous emerald-green Gripoix cabochons and cascading ruby-red grape clusters. Their artistic composition perfectly captures the bold fantasy jewelry that defined Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel during the mid-1980’s.

An exceptionally rare pair of Chanel 1986 Gripoix grape cluster earrings, created during Victoire de Castellane's celebrated early years designing Chanel costume jewelry under Karl Lagerfeld.

These sculptural clip-on earrings feature luminous emerald green Gripoix-style cabochons, richly textured gilt ivy leaves, twisted vine stems and cascading clusters of translucent ruby-red glass grapes. Inspired by the lavish opulence of French Haute Couture, they perfectly capture the bold, artistic jewelry aesthetic that made Victoire de Castellane's creations so collectible.

Produced in France and bearing the highly sought-after "23" season mark, these earrings belong to the earliest generation of Chanel jewelry created under Victoire de Castellane's artistic direction, a period renowned for exceptional craftsmanship, heavy gold plating and imaginative Gripoix designs.

Museum-worthy and exceptionally difficult to source today, this is a remarkable archive piece destined for the most discerning Chanel collector.
