A Little History About Gripoix – Fabulous French Craftsmanship
Gripoix is one of the oldest Parisian houses specializing in the manufacture of imitation and couture jewelry. Toward the end of the 19th century, Augustine Gripoix acquired the Gasse designer label, which produced glass pearls imitating real pearls. By 1900, the greatest couture houses of the time, including Worth and Paul Poiret, were ordering Gripoix's imitation jewelry.
From the 1920s onward, the Gripoix atelier was almost exclusively dedicated to orders from Gabrielle Chanel. For her, Suzanne Gripoix adapted mother-of-pearl techniques applied to glass micro-pearls, and she also used cast glass, laid while hot and processed like enamel, in extremely fine glass mountings — ensuring the resounding success of Chanel accessories in Europe and the United States.
Over time, most of the major fashion houses turned to Gripoix's studios, including Christian Dior, Fath, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix, and Jean-Paul Gaultier.
At the age of 82, Suzanne Gripoix considered handing her workshop down only to her daughter, Josette Gripoix. Her son, Thierry Gripoix-Caluwaerts, took over in 1996. The Gripoix brand was subsequently sold and is still produced today under the name Gripoix.
The original Gripoix family continues to produce jewelry under the name Augustine Paris, led by Thierry Gripoix.

Un peu d'histoire sur Gripoix – un savoir-faire français exceptionnel
Gripoix est l'une des plus anciennes maisons parisiennes spécialisées dans la fabrication de bijoux d'imitation et de haute couture. Vers la fin du XIX? siècle, Augustine Gripoix reprend le label du designer Gasse, qui produisait des perles en verre imitant les vraies perles. Dès 1900, les plus grandes maisons de couture de l'époque, dont Worth et Paul Poiret, passent commande de bijoux d'imitation auprès de Gripoix.
À partir des années 1920, l'atelier Gripoix est presque exclusivement consacré aux commandes de Gabrielle Chanel. Pour elle, Suzanne Gripoix adapte des techniques de nacre appliquées sur des micro-perles en verre, et utilise également du verre moulé, posé à chaud et travaillé comme de l'émail, dans des montures en verre extrêmement fines, assurant ainsi le succès des accessoires Chanel en Europe et aux États-Unis.
Au fil du temps, la plupart des grandes maisons de couture feront appel aux ateliers Gripoix, notamment Christian Dior, Fath, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix et Jean-Paul Gaultier.
À l'âge de 82 ans, Suzanne Gripoix envisage de transmettre son atelier uniquement à sa fille, Josette Gripoix. Son fils, Thierry Gripoix-Caluwaerts, lui succède en 1996. La marque Gripoix a ensuite été vendue et continue d'être produite aujourd'hui sous le nom Gripoix.
La famille Gripoix d'origine continue de créer des bijoux sous le nom Augustine Paris, dirigée par Thierry Gripoix.
