Chanel reproduced designs inspired by 16th century and renaissance paintings. Her standards for the outcome were high; the stones had to be bold, the intricate byzantine designs had to be sharp, and the jewelry had to look freshly excavated. Gripoix didn't disappoint and the results were beyond satisfactory. The iconic byzantine style of Chanel jewelry was born.”
