The Chanel Paris boutique at 18 Place Vendôme held a gathering during Paris Couture week exhibiting both their 2005 Éléments Célestes fine jewelry line along side of artist Xavier Veilhan’s temporary installations. Attended by actresses, models, celebrities along hand with other couture clients; ladies who could actually afford to buy these lovely gems.

Velilhan’s pieces exhibited include a enormous reclining female statue, which was digitally designed in resin. Upstairs, metallic plates presenting the jewels move across a metallic table top while Veilhan’s light machine fills the room with light.

 
Éléments Célestes brings us star-struck gems in perfect white diamonds and pearls. This line inspired by the wonders of the cosmic world is shaped as comets, stars, constellations and planets done in broaches, necklaces and earrings. Some of the jewelry designs are rooted from creations the design house issued in the 1930′s. Shown here is a ring made of white gold, reticulated crystal and diamonds. On the right, an adjustable bracelet of white gold, diamonds with floating pearls. The bracelet expands to the width you want to wear it at, smaller for the wrist, wider for higher on the arm. The bracelet resembles the symbolic Chanel gardenia when collapsed to it’s smallest form.
