Chanel herself was a great collector of Amazing jewelry from various cultures. You can see the influence of India on her pieces such as the one on display at 1stdibs below. You can tell she studied them and her jewelry line, brought costume jewelry which was thought of as a less fabulous version of lux jewelry, to the forefront.
