10 stellar pieces from the Chanel 1932 high jewellery exhibition in Singapore

In Chanel’s sky full of stars, here are ten of the most stunning pieces that took our breath away at the private viewing of the exhibition

A true revolutionary, the late great Madame Chanel created the world’s first high jewellery collection in 1932. She called and christened it, Bijoux de Diamants and dedicated the entire collection to the stars, the sun and all the other sparkling celestial bodies that inspired it. The perfect showcase of her uncanny design prowess during the Thirties, the high jewellery collection was an instant success and set a new standard for creativity and innovation—which only further cemented Chanel’s standing as a leader of taste.

Offering a sparkle of hope since The Great Depression, for over 90 years, the high jewellery that the maison creates still inspires individuals with discerning taste to this very day. Considered to be some of the most iconic designs in the history of high jewellery by collectors, here are Tatler Singapore’s picks of 10 pieces designed by Chanel’s director of fine jewellery creation studio Patrice Leguéreau that continue to celebrate not only the legacy but also the enduring allure of Chanel.
