The classic of Chanel jewelries started from the Place Vendome 18th, the most extravagant and elegant salon in Paris, where Chanel lady created a lot of legend. Therefore, the innovations exhibited inside are distinctive.
Those jewelries which are about to be exhibited this year are various, crafted from dazzling diamonds, the favorite of Chanel lady. Take the Ruban Couture series for example; it is set in ribbon bowknot design. The ribbon full of diamonds is woven into complicated bowknot with elegant lines. It can be casually tied on the body. Chanel lady magnified the possibility of jewelry design. Her bowknot can dance whatever material it is made of. Ruban Couture diamond brooch is crafted from 18 white gold enchased with a oval-cut diamond weighed 2.5 carats, 1404 white diamonds of 6 carats and 1553 black diamonds of 7 carats.
Spike symbolizes wealth and prosperity. For Chanel lady, it is more meaningful because it is the last keepsake her father left her. The spike-shaped earrings are the integration of the precious memory and the favorite of Chanel lady, simple yet elegant. Crafted from 18k white gold, they are enchased with two pear-cut diamonds, 20 navette-cut diamonds weighed 3.5 carats, 28 round-cut diamonds of 1 carat. What is more, 10 pearls with the diameter of 4.5mm are dangled.
Regarding the diamond bracelet, it ultimately interprets luxury, featuring a piece of radiant-cut diamond in the center surrounded by six pieces of radiant-cut tourmalines in blue color, octagon cut, triangle-kite facet and another 1148 dazzling diamonds. Every hand up can distract people's attention!
To sum up, Chanel top jewelries exhibited on Place Vendome are not only luxurious for the precious materials but also appreciable for the top craftsmanship, really second to none treasure for jewelry collectors.

It is characterised by its box-shaped and collarless jacket style. It was originally inspired by a cardigan sweater in the 1930's but is still hugely popular now. A Chanel-style jacket is often made of nubby fabrics like the signature tweed often used and typically features contrasting trim and patch pockets. The Chanel style of jacket works particularly well for slim and average size figure and can also be flattering for women with long waists and small chests.
Since its original conception by the House if Chanel the jacket has also evolved into many new styles. Surprisingly, it is now even possible to buy Chanel jacket inspired cardigans with a round neck and design which looks like edging. You can also get the same look but with a longer line instead of the traditional boxy jacket. Trims vary from grosgrain ribbon to lace and net.
Whilst the original Chanel jacket was usually worn with a suit, these days they can be dressed up with a smart skirt or down with a pair of jeans. You will also see them in all sorts of different colours from pastel shades to monotone.
Coco 'Gabrielle' Chanel was particularly recognised for introducing comfortable more casual clothes which were a definite contrast to the corsets worn by most in the thirties and particularly the styles of Christian Dior which emphasised the feminine figure. The loose fitting box style jackets and suits that Chanel designed were comparatively masculine. Chanel herself wore mannish clothes and all of her designs were adapted from these styles which she found so liberating. Isn't it funny how times change as a Chanel style suit is now considered quite ladylike in comparison to the jeans worn by many. Coco Chanel was pioneering in her use of jersey in ladies fashion, a fabric which dominates the catwalks at the moment.
Other designs iconic designs by Coco Chanel which also became iconic include her little black dress and quilted handbags.
This navy fringe trim jacket with long sleeves is inspired but the original Chanel style jacket but has also been adapted slightly to suit the modern women. Its longer length make it a little more flattering and the fringe and lace trim add to the interest. It also has a beautiful and eye catching pattern and would look equally stylish with the mid length straight skirt in the same fabric, contrasting navy trousers or even a pair of jeans.

Chanel did not belong to the high society, and she did not want to acquire it's attributes. "I forgot about lace, for I knew nothing rich would become me. I had only my kid-skin coat and my poor little suits. Capel said to me: "Since it means so much to you, I will have an English tailor remake an elegant what you wear all the time..." This is how her famous style was born.
Dresses she made for herself worn without a corset looked almost fluid compared to the heavy fashions of her time. She carried herself impeccably straight, as if meaning to be a living proof of the idea that being fit counted for most.
In her early years she often borrowed clothes of her lovers: white shirts, ties, coats. Later she made it one of the main principles of her designs: adapting the elements of male attire for feminine use.
In the beginning it was not yet known that Chanel could make dresses. She became popular for her creating her little boater (a trim little hat suited to the open air circumstances). The boater was created by Chanel in 1910, and stayed in the height of fashion for half a century. Slowly the word began to circulate, and the society ladies came one by one to Coco for help with their wardrobes.
In 1913 women had neither fashions nor clothing for sports. Coco Chanel designs were an invention of a whole new style for outdoor living. Her boutique in Deauville, France, offered hats, shortly followed by jackets, jumpers and the "sailor blouse". That became the wartime garment of all well-dressed ladies. The role of a woman in society was changing. And Coco Chanel outfits soon became the fashion of the day...
In 1915 Chanel opened another boutique in Biarritz. In the wartime France Biarritz was the place for those who profited and enjoyed le luxe. Located close to the Spanish border, this resort was made famous by royals from all over Europe. This enterprise made her successful beyond all expectations. By 1916 the combined staff of her fashion houses in Paris, Deauville and Biarritz totaled 300.
One of her most famous innovations was her adoption of jersey, the material usually associated with men's undergarments. Her three-quarter-length overcoat made of jersey, free from ornament and loosely fitting, was an instant success.
Chanel was a woman who dared to set the new trends. She said: "I set the fashion for a quarter of a century. Why? Because I knew how to express my own time."
She changed completely the traditional role of couturier... Before her, the clients used to require the exclusivity of fabrics and designs, made especially for their needs. Chanel changed it and by doing it, changed the look of the street. She made high fashion functional and well suitable to working women and housewives.
Chanel put women into slacks, which was possible due to the liberalization of morals and the opportunities of sports. Wearing slacks in 1929 was a freedom that only truly rich women could afford. But the taboo was broken, and eventually the Coco Chanel fashion went down to the streets to become the preference of thousands of women.
Coco Chanel had set a new standard of comfort, luxury, elegance and life of a woman entrepreneur, which remain almost unchanged to this day.
There's something about that soft stitched leather and gold metal chain that has created a signature style icon for women all over the world.
So let's go back in time to when it first began...
In 1955, Chanel introduced the Classic Quilted bag with the shoulder strap, THE bag that shook the fashion world. It became so popular the first year she had to decline numerous requests due to the lack of time to painstakingly manufacture each one by her skilled artisans. The bag is known in industry shorthand as the 2.55, after the month and year it was introduced.
Chanel's signature quilted fabric has a "secret" quilting pattern sewn at the back to keep the material strong. This material is used for clothing and accessories alike.
Throughout the key fashion decades, the Chanel 2.55 handbag miraculously hasn't changed much. Unlike other fashion design houses who have altered their bag styles to appeal to the temporary whimsical demands of fashion trends, the Classic Chanel 2.55 has stood it's ground. In fact, in 2005, the fashion house celebrated by re-releasing the classic just as it was.
The classic Chanel bag will never die. The latest versions out this year of this classic bag are awe striking in lambskin and ostrich leather.
Can you believe that this bag is over 50 years old?
