Join Curator Connie Karol Burks as she carefully handles costume earrings, necklaces and brooches designed by Gabrielle Chanel.
ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response – a pleasant tingling sensation beginning on the scalp and moving down the neck, which is triggered by a delicate or satisfying auditory or visual experience.
Watch and listen as Connie examines the jewellery using a magnifying glass, picking out design features and colour schemes distinctive to the House of Chanel. Some of the pieces originally belonged to leading 1950s fashion model Anne Gunning, who would have paired these with accompanying CHANEL garments.
Close your eyes as you hear the delicate clink of chains and the soft snap of clasps, and imagine what the pieces would have felt like to wear.
More ASMR at the museum on our YouTube channel.
