I’m obsessed with the Chanel costume jewelry for Fall. The colors are rich deep jewel tones. There are bangle bracelets and multi-chain necklaces that will go with any outfit. I just went to a seminar about how the jewelry is made and learned some very interesting things. Did you know that every piece of costume jewelry and button from Chanel is hand made and never repeated?

Desrues is the creator of costume jewelry, buttons, hardware, and other ornamentation for Chanel. The factory is located outside Paris in a small village and employs around 300 people. Many hours are spent creating just one piece of jewelry, and each artisan is a master in one step of the process. The hand made details and one-of-a-kind pieces are what makes each so unique and special. Check out these pictures of how the pieces are made, and the final product on the shelf!
