Diane Kruger, Blake Lively Celebrate Chanel's 'Bijoux de Diamants' Collection
Chanel hosted a party to celebrate the 80th anniversary of their “Bijoux de Diamants” collection, and all of fashion's heavy hitters came out to toast the iconic brand.
In honor of the anniversary of the collection, which was originally created by Gabrielle Chanel in 1932, Chanel designed 80 new high-jewelry pieces based on the symbols that inspired Mademoiselle Chanel’s imagination. Constellations of white, yellow and black diamonds, blue and pink sapphires and pearls in the form of comets, stars, suns, fringes, fountains, ribbons and feathers make up the statement pieces.
The lion, Mademoiselle Chanel's favorite animal as she was a Leo, is the newest symbol added to the collection.
