The Camélia is undoubtedly one of CHANEL’s icons. This emblematic flower has captivated Mademoiselle Chanel with its simplicity. With no fragrance and no thorns, it attracted her with its almost geometric roundness and the perfect order of its petals. Her love for opposites came alive when she used to wear a white camellia as a jewel on a little black dress or sweater. In tribute to this cherished icon, this season, the House unveils a new opulent interpretation of this natural marvel, entitled “1.5 1 Camélia. 5 Allures”.
This high jewelry collection gives each woman the freedom to wear 22 pieces out of 50 in a multitude of ways – staying true to what Gabrielle Chanel once said: “My (jewels) are flexible and detachable […] You can take apart the jewelry and use it to match a hat or fur. In this way, the set of jewelry is no longer an immutable object. Life transforms it and bends it to its needs.”
Diamonds come together with pink sapphires, rubies, white gold, pink gold and pearls to become a true expression of personality and highlight CHANEL’s expertise, creativity and strength in transforming an icon into an exquisite piece to be passed down from a generation to another and cherished forever.
