What was the name of Coco Chanel’s 1932 diamond-jewelry collection?

Coco Chanel’s 1932 diamond-jewelry collection was called Bijoux de Diamants.

Chanel created the collection for the house’s first major fine-jewelry presentation. It was commissioned to celebrate the diamond and was shown in Paris as an imaginative presentation of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other pieces. Chanel drew inspiration from celestial and natural forms, including stars, comets, ribbons, and feathers.

The collection was significant because Chanel treated jewelry as part of a complete fashion image rather than merely as a display of wealth. She designed pieces that could be worn in different ways and arranged them around the body, echoing the movement and versatility of her clothing.

Bijoux de Diamants is sometimes confused with later Chanel fine-jewelry lines or with Chanel’s costume jewelry. The 1932 collection belongs specifically to Gabrielle Chanel’s early fine-jewelry work and helped establish motifs that remained important to the brand’s jewelry identity.
