It's easy to revel in the controlled chaos of Chanel's 70-piece Escale à Venise high jewellery collection, which is defined by carefully stacked slices of gold.

Realising that the 1920s was a decade of change,  Boucheron's creative director Claire Choisne was guided by how the art deco period ushered in the modern world when she created her Histoire de Style, Art Déco collection. Inspired by the jewellery designed by Boucheron for the Maharaja of Patiala, whisper-thin strands of white gold and platinum are set with black lacquer, onyx and diamonds, before being mounted with emerald beads.
