About Gripoix Glass: All Gripoix glass jewelry is made by hand. It was in 1868 when it was first produced, and artisans in France are still making glass jewelry components now using the same techniques. Beads, cabochons, coated pearls, and other glass components like these will be found in jewelry branded Chanel, YSL, Dior, Givenchy, Isabel Canovas, and Pierre Cardin along with other European couture houses. A limited amount of other jewelry also bears the Gripoix name, but many are termed Gripoix erroneously. It can take many man-hours to produce a single design. It was thus too expensive, and still is, to use these types of French glass crafted by hand in lower quality jewelry. Many molded glass imitations, however, were used in less expensive, non-couture pieces are incorrectly termed Gripoix. These YSL earrings are the genuine article!
