1932 CHASING THE DREAM
90 years after the debut of the first High Jewellery collection, the CHANEL Fine Jewellery Creation Studio draws inspiration from the timeless Bijoux de Diamants pieces to tell a new tale. 1932 represents a journey beyond time and space, where the movement of the planets and the kinetics of the stars are observed. From the original collection, Patrice Leguéreau, Director of the CHANEL Fine Jewellery Creation Studio, preserves the celestial theme, the purity of the lines and the freedom of the body. The perfect roundness of the diamonds gives the symbols a sense of eternity, enhanced by rays of light that make them sparkle.

She applied the principles of Haute Couture to the pieces: yellow and white diamonds enhanced by the greatest simplicity, designed to accentuate the movements of the body and the allure of a woman. An audacious approach by a visionary designer.

COLLECTIONS
In 1932, Gabrielle Chanel introduces her first and only jewellery collection, Bijoux de Diamants, breaking with the codes of traditional jewellery. The famous star, the stones fitting the design of the jewel, the word “collection” borrowed from fashion or the use of wax figures for a natural display of the jewels. This vision of jewellery, this daring and this unique creativity are still as present today.
