“Celeste Brooch” (as pictured above) is part of the “Bijoux de Diamants”. This collection celebrates Chanel’s 80th Anniversary of Chanel Fine Jewelry .
For Centuries we have been looking up. The stars take us home, and the moon brings us the tide (while it toys with our emotions). Together the moon and stars tell us who we will be and how we will function. The sky brings us the light, the dark, the clouds, the rain and snow, thunder and lightening, and is filled with mysteries that keep Astronomers up late at night searching for answers to infinite questions.
Aside from all this mysterious magic, let’s not forget it’s beauty. Some of the seduction is simply, how damn beautiful it is. Getting lost between the stars is what the Night Sky is all about. The beauty of the sky of course cannot be captured, however, for decades, jewelers have been paying homage in their own ways by creating their own little pieces of magic.
Of course, H. Stern and Chanel have claimed this territory as well as newcomers like Kismet by Milka, Colette Jewelry and my new favorite discovery, Bibi Van Der Velden. How can anyone not be inspired by the magic of the night? This is NOT a trend. Trends die. The Cosmic Universe will forever be rediscovered over and over again, as it is by the many designers featured below.
