Givenchy Magnifying Glass Necklace

Gold-toned cable chain, an engraved logo, Greek Key ornament, and glass pendant. Rare collectible piece. 

Hubert de Givenchy opened his boutique when he was 25. Shortly after founding his brand, he met the actress Audrey Hepburn. 

"Their friendship started over a misunderstanding. Givenchy had just opened his tiny couture house in Paris after working at Schiaparelli, and was told that a Miss Hepburn was coming to take a look. Thinking that it was Katharine Hepburn whom he was going to meet, he was surprised by the arrival at his shop of a tiny sprite of a girl dressed in Capri pants, T-shirt and ballet flats. She had been sent to Paris by the director Billy Wilder to select couture for her role in his upcoming film, Sabrina".

He created costumes for her role in "Sabrina", "Funny Face", the famous black dress in "Breakfast at Tiffany's", and many more. 

The necklace is in good vintage condition; it has a scratch on a glass and some marks of time.
