Every time Chanel unveils a new collection, we think that there is nothing that could embody its founder’s life in a clearer way but as soon as a new one sees the light, it proves us wrong. “Coco avant Chanel” is the new high jewelry collection that follows its predecessors’ leads and modernly reinterprets the life of this fashion icon.

Eleven jewelry sets – with each one bearing the name of an elegant woman who has inspired and marked the life of Gabrielle Chanel before 1920 – capture two quintessential elements of her style, lace and ribbon. The only thing in common among them all, is that they illustrate the quest for freedom, the desire for temperance and the search for lightness – which are the all-time fundamentals of Chanel’s style.

Now, sift through the Photo Gallery in order to discover more about these jewelry marvels.
