1960s Chanel Necklace by Archimede Seguso

1960s vintage Chanel necklace by Archimede Seguso. Made of alternating black and amber brown blown murano glass links linked together like interlocking CCs, spaced by black glass beads and finished with gilt caps. Approximately 27 inches around when clasped, and unsigned. Beautiful vintage condition - some small scratches on the clasp when you look closely, but the glass links are in wonderful shape, and the necklace has been well cared for. I recently met with Dr. Lori Verderame (antique appraiser with a PhD in art history - she’s done appraisals on several TV shows, e.g., The Curse of Oak Island) and my price on this is based on her valuation of it (it’s actually a bit below her appraisal). Gorgeous piece for anyone who collects mid-century modern jewelry, Seguso, or Chanel - but also eminently wearable just to enjoy. The necklace has also been authenticated by a professional third party authentication service (replicas are rare, but do exist - and not every piece that was at one time original can be authenticated because many of them have been modified). Certificate information will be sent with the piece. See my other listings for another Chanel necklace by Seguso in black and clear frosted glass, as well as a salvage Seguso piece in green and blue.
