Fabulous New Chanel Pearl CollectionFabulous New Chanel Pearl Collection:
Broche-Camelia
Camélia Perlé brooch in 18-karat white gold set with 345 brilliant-cut diamonds for a total weight of 9.9 carats, 2 pear-cut diamonds for a total weight of 1.4 carat and 37 Japanese cultured pearls of 6 to 9.5 mm diameter
Pearls, lions, camellias, feathers and a monochrome palette – these are the distinctive markers of Chanel. They are also the DNA of the brand’s new collection of jewellery and watches that has been called ‘Perles de Chanel’ (Chanel Pearls), decorated with what was Coco’s favourite precious stone: the pearl. Mademoiselle Chanel considered it to be her talisman; she never left the house without wearing a pair of pearl earrings, or a pearl necklace or bracelet.
The Chanel pearl collection was presented for the first time as part of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Despite the collection’s variety, it was clear from the name that all the pieces would have one common denominator: the noble pearl. Its pink, grey, gold and classic snow white hues were diluted by translucent diamonds, yellow sapphires, blue-green aquamarines, tourmalines and violet amethysts.
So as not to get lost in a myriad of different creations, this wide-scale collection, comprising 87 pieces, can be divided into four thematic sub-collections: the elegant, feminine Mademoiselle, the glamorous evening-oriented “1932”, the blooming Camelia and the colourful Baroque.
