Whether in a ring, a bracelet, or a diadem, feathers have always been part of Chanel\u2019s history. In 1932, three years after the onset of the Great Depression, the mens\u2019 world of Paris\u2019 Place Vend\u00f4me was struggling to stay afloat while Chanel was really taking off. Commissioned by the diamond industry to restore diamonds\u2019 image, Coco Chanel whipped up a collection; despite being the only one in her entire career, it\u2019s still going strong today. Modestly titled \u201cBijoux de diamant\u201d (\u201cDiamond jewelry\u201d), the line was developed around themes that were significant to the Mademoiselle: stars, suns, ribbons, fringes, and finally, feathers. A symbol of liberty, it\u2019s only natural that it was adopted by Coco Chanel as an expression of restrained sophistication who\u2019s fluidity was a key principle and who\u2019s lightness triumphed over ostentation. The soft light of feathers, rings, brooches, and diadems shone over the beauties of the day like owls in a sparkling glimmer.<\/p>\n
Ever since, Chanel has kept on jotting down its story with a feathery quill. In 2010, the brand imagined a collection called \u201cPlume\u201d inspired by the original 1932 one. 35 airy pieces were created by the brand\u2019s workshops in addition to the rerelease of the famous \u201cPlume\u201d brooch imagined by Chanel in 1932. Brand new this season, Chanel is unveiling feathers made of precious stones in bracelets, pendants, and rings. Wings covering women in light, the brand\u2019s latest creations are part of a graphic and supple line, still attentive to freedom of movement. This is how the \u201cPlume\u201d bracelet, set with diamonds or dresed up in 19-carat yellow gold has found itself around many a wrist. With the addition of two enlaced feathers, it leans towards highlighting finesse rather than heaviness. The \u201cPlume\u201d collection is in line with the brand\u2019s pure and elegant creative direction, giving wings to the visionary spirit of any who would submit to the sparkle of diamonds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
