In 1932 Gabrielle Chanel presented Bijoux de Diamants, her only high jewellery collection, in her mansion at 29 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. More than 45 pieces were shown.
The collection set the vocabulary for Chanel's later jewellery. When the house created Chanel Fine Jewellery in 1993, it began with a reproduction of the Comète necklace from Bijoux de Diamants.
For the collection's 80th anniversary in 2012, Chanel presented 80 new pieces in a pop-up planetarium at the Musée du Quai Branly before showing them at the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris. Reproductions of the 1932 designs also appeared in the Mademoiselle Privé exhibition, which opened at the Saatchi Gallery in London in 2015 and later travelled to Seoul, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo.
