One of the most visible personalities of her era, Gabrielle Chanel invented a style that was synonymous with modernity and chic. What is less well known is that the grande dame of twentieth century fashion used platinum and diamonds to create an exceptional collection of the finest jewelry.

The adventure is both classic and contemporary and perpetuates one of the greatest names of the country. 60 photographs
