High jewelry on the wave of tradition by Maison Chanel. The name of collection: Coco Avant Chanel.
Coco Chanel divided in two by the time: before and after. The first gave inspiration to a fine jewelry collection called, precisely, Coco Avant Chanel. The collection consists of 11 parure, imagine for many women, in each of which the Parisian Maison gave a name. As Emilienne, which prefers finery made from beads, while Jeanne entrusted the pink sapphires and white diamonds marquise cut. And pearls for Martha, who even gets 220 for her parure, while in other cases there is a total of white gold and diamonds. The collection includes also two jewelery watches. Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, known as Coco for all, it would probably be proud: one time ago, for women wear a watch was dishonorable (yes, many years ago it was considered vulgar), and timepieces were transformed as precious jewels, for those who could afford it. The Jeanne clock, for example, uses 500 diamonds, with geometric patterns reminiscent of the style of Mademoiselle Chanel. The collection, presented in Paris during the haute couture shows, has aroused impression. But it not for the price of the jewelry: it is only communicated on request. Giulia Netrese
