CHANEL presents “Signature de CHANEL”, its first High Jewellery collection entirely dedicated to the quilted pattern.

Inspired by the equestrian world dear to Gabrielle Chanel and especially by the jackets the stable boys wore on around the racetracks, the quilted pattern became an essential element in Mademoiselle Chanel’s creative world. When stitched, the quilted pattern always keeps its shape; this allowed Gabrielle Chanel to use supple materials like jersey, lambskin and silk to give body, volume and solidity to the iconic 2.55 bag.

“Signature Ulitme” necklace in 18K white gold set with a 1.5-carat brilliant-cut diamond and 364 brilliant-cut diamonds for a total weight of 25.42 carats. “Signature de Saphir” earrings in 18K white gold set with 2 cushion-cut sapphires for a total weight of 12.8 carats, 26 square-cut diamonds for a total weight of 2 carats, 158 brilliant-cut diamonds for a total weight of 4.5 carats and 2 triangle-cut diamonds. “Signature de Chanel” Collection
 
“Elegance is line,” Mademoiselle Chanel loved to say when giving greater fluidity and freedom to her silhouettes. The geometry of the forty-eight new pieces designed by the CHANEL Fine Jewellery Creative Studio are a variation on the quilted pattern and pay tribute to that inspiration. Graphic and refined, they express the purity of line and the perfection in simplicity that characterise the style of CHANEL.

“Signature Duo” bracelet in 18K white gold set with 2 brilliant-cut diamonds for a total weight of 2 carats and 1178 brilliant-cut diamonds for a total weight of 26.6 carats. “Signature White Tie” earrings in 18K white gold set with 2 cushion-cut diamonds for a total weight of 1 carat and 116 brilliant-cut diamonds for a total weight of 3.3 carats. “Signature White Tie” watch in 18K white gold set with 301 brilliant-cut diamonds for a total weight of 7.7 carats and carved mother-of-pearl. “Signature de Chanel” Collection
 
Consisting of curves and volumes, the design lends itself to the most varied combinations. Multiplying, it spins its web over the entire surface of the jewellery piece transforming it into a tactile material. Fluid, the "Signature de CHANEL” collection follows the body’s every movement. Sensual and flexible, they wrap around the neck, fingers or wrist.

Solitary, the curved square of the quilting reveals the delicacy of its contours paved with diamonds. Only the azure blue sapphires and aquamarines add a touch of contrast here and there to the luminous brightness of the white gold and diamonds. Pearls, grey mother-of-pearl marquetry and rock crystal complete the collection in variations on the same theme.

The “Signature de CHANEL” collection expresses the constantly renewed creative spirit of CHANEL High Jewellery.

“Signature Ultime” bracelet in 18K white gold set with a 1-carat brilliant-cut diamond, 265 square-cut sapphires for a total weight of 66 carats and 221 brilliant-cut diamonds for a total weight of 7.7 carats. “Signature de Chanel” Collection
