Necklaces, brooches, earrings, and other jewelry were once made from expensive gemstones and precious metals. They served as symbols of power and wealth, adorned by men of high rank to emphasize their status, and worn by wives and daughters.
Paul Poiret, the French fashion designer known for liberating women from corsets in the early 20th century, was a pioneer in incorporating non-precious jewelry into women's fashion to complement his entirely new dresses. In the 1920s, Coco Chanel designed imitation pearls and glass jewelry, gaining tremendous popularity among women who were making strides in society. These jewelry items eventually experienced explosive growth in America, earning the name "costume jewelry." With their distinctive and innovative aesthetic, they have provided women with strong confidence, courage, and radiance.
This exhibition is a rare global showcase focused on costume jewelry. Through a carefully selected collection of approximately 450 pieces from the valuable collection of researcher and collector Chisako Kotaki, the exhibition introduces the world of freely designed costume jewelry."
