The distinctive original (M.9-2011), based on Gujurati  plaques (examples of which are also in the V&A collection, Indian Section) is linked to the necklace depicted in Edward Poynter's painting 'Helen of Troy'. The necklaces reveal a fascinating chain of influence across continents and over a hundres years, illustrating the dissemination of styles from the local and traditional to the metropolitan and then into costume jewellery.","physicalDescription":"Necklace of gilt metal beads and imitation pearls, with three wide trapezoid plaques of Gujurati inspiration at the front, each decorated with a repeating pattern of spirals. The imitation pearls have gilt metal caps, the beads are four-sided ovals. A brass spring ring clasp fastens at the back.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Chanel","id":"A4468"},"association":{"text":"made for","id":"x30791"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"materials":[{"text":"Gilt metal","id":"x35080"},{"text":"Glass","id":"AAT10797"},{"text":"Brass","id":"AAT10946"}],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Gilt metal and imitation pearls","categories":[{"text":"Jewellery","id":"THES48930"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2025PC0548","2025PC0547","2024NY2227"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"001","id":"THES403959"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Necklace","id":"AAT46001"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Europe","id":"x28842"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"c. 1970","earliest":"1965-01-01","latest":"1974-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Julia Rover in memory of Roy Rover","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"440","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":"necklace open"},{"dimension":"Height","value":"42","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"trapezoid plaque","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"67","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"trapezoid plaque","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"14.5","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"pearl bead","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Stamped CHANEL on reverse of central plaque","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"The inspiration for this necklace perhaps came from the Nineteenth-century neckace by Carlo Giuliano in the V&A collection (M.9-2011) which was based on a Gujurati necklace depicted in a painting of Helen of Troy exhibited by Sir Edward Poynter at the Royal Academy in 1881.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Necklace of gilt metal and imitation pearls, Chanel, c.1970","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["M.10-2024"],"accessionNumberNum":"10","accessionNumberPrefix":"M","accessionYear":2024,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-09-01","recordCreationDate":"2024-04-22","availableToBook":true}}
