Celebrating eighty years of Chanel jewelry from the iconic 1932 designs to the brand new 2012 anniversary collection

Coco Chanel’s passion for fabulous jewels, for exceptional stones, and for fantastic marvels produced pieces that were unparalleled of their insistence on luxury and refinement. Drawing inspiration from tradition, Chanel was once never the slave of on a regular basis formulas or market values. Yet she reinvented tradition in probably the most arresting and up to date jewelry pieces, in accordance with her love of color and her assured command of austere classical beauty. Chanel was once a creature of contrasts: there was once the Chanel of sumptuous baroque, of rococo mirrors and dazzling, playful, unrestrained jewelry; and there was once the Chanel of the utmost restraint, of classicism a la française. Out of this dialogue between ostentation and austerity, the jewelry that Chanel created all the way through her long career has been celebrated in many revivals of her exceptional taste. From the direct re-creations of the 1932 Collection to the latest interpretations of comets and stars, plumes and feathers, and Chanel’s signature flower, the camellia, this book is true to the spirit of her enterprise. Classic images from the archives combine with exciting new photography to bring old and new together. 260 illustrations in color and black and white
