Publisher's Note With the help of illustrations and documents, and based on archival research and interviews with Chanel's colleagues and other witnesses to her life and career, this book presents this remarkable side of a truly fascinating character about whom we thought we already knew all that there was to know: her passion for fabulous jewels, for exceptional stones, for improbable marvels that, to quote her own words, should be viewed "with innocence, with artlessness, just as we enjoy the sight of an apple tree in blossom at the side of the road as we speed past in a motor-car."
