CHANEL Coromandel High Jewelry Collection

 

In 2018, CHANEL Fine Jewelry presents, for the first time, a Fine Jewelry collection inspired by the poetic universe of Coromandel. 

The COROMANDEL collection is made up of fifty-nine pieces, with twenty-four that are entirely unique. The motifs dear to Gabrielle Chanel are reworked around three themes: floral, noticeably evoking her signature flower, the Camellia; animal, through the bestiary of Coromandel; and mineral, reflecting her love of crystal and gemstones. 

The floral theme inspires a cuff that is entirely reversible, and reworks the geometricstructure of the screens. The cuff includes a yellow diamond that pivots, so as to remain always visible on the wrist. 

The mineral theme is inscribed in the "Horizon Lointain" plastron necklace in yellow gold, dotted with clouds of mother-of-pearl and diamond (including one central six-carat diamond) that evoke a Coromandel landscape. 

At the heart of the animal theme, birds just about to take flight, just as they appear on the screens, ornament a diamond ring that sparkles with more than ten carats.

Finally, the collection's gems recall all the colors of the Coromandel lacquers: the greens of the Tsavorite garnet, emeralds and the more than thirty-seven-carat tourmaline on the "Vibration Minérale" ring; the red spinel on the "Évocation Florale" ring, and the ruby beads and deep, hypnotic black lacquer transposed onto the onyx. 

These magical and virtuoso pieces offer, once again, an illustration of the incomparable savoir-faire of the CHANEL Fine Jewelry workshop, and the tireless ingenuity of the Studio of Creation, inspired by the secret and precious universe of Gabrielle Chanel.

Stay chic,
