Chanel’s ‘Mademoiselle Privé’ Exhibition Opens in Tokyo
“Perhaps most dazzling is the Bijoux de Diamants jewelry, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s collection of diamonds in platinum designed in 1932. It pioneered the use of flowing, asymmetrical styles at a time when high jewelry was quite stiff, making use of motifs of the sun, stars, and lions - favored symbols of the legendary designer. At the time of the release of the collection, it was quite unusual for a couturier to dabble in high-end jewelry.”
