The jewelry division of Chanel hosted a private dinner at the Plaza Hotel Grand Ballroom in New York City Jan. 16 to honor the U.S. debut of 20 unique jewelry pieces from the Chanel archives and the Vendome collection.

The Night of Diamonds was a formal affair with precious gems worth millions of dollars U.S. being worn on the necks, ears and fingers of wealthy guests.

The Plaza Hotel has a newly renovated Grand Ballroom that in the past hosted Truman Capotes Black and White Ball, as well as Sarah Jessica Parkers 40th birthday party.
