Opportunely, still reeling from the 1929 crisis, diamond dealers of the time chose to make mademoselle Chanel bring back the brilliance of the Diamond. This is the starting point for the most ephemeral and most legendary collections.  

Simply, Gabrielle Chanel Alleviates mentures to extreme and out of fashion all the above. It's not the stone who decides anymore but how the seam lines in the drawing. She sets and Resets the diamonds as she once enjoyed taking apart the trimmings provided by the Duke of Westminster to invent other jewelry.
