Discover the luxury French fashion institution’s star-crossed relationship with the outer limits in our Chanel high jewellery book, which comes with our March 2023 issue
A Celestial Symphony With Chanel chronicles the luxury French fashion institution’s star-crossed relationship with the outer limits. Giving new meaning to high jewellery, the house of Chanel invites you to look up, above and beyond the heavens, and discover sparklers that capture our every wonder an imagination. From celestial bodies that punctuate starlit skies to star signs that the late great mademoiselle was known for, jewels of every kind get christened by stars and other hallmarks of Chanel. As tweeds, camellias and the endlessly elegant No.5 translate themselves into jewellery collections that are so ahead of their time, the ephemeral immediately get transformed into the eternal.

Helmed by Patrice Leguéreau, the director of Chanel fine jewellery creation studio, the supplement holds the looking glass to iconic collections that the house is known the world over for. Celebrating over nine decades of sparkling perfection, the Bijoux de Diamants collection boasts 77 pieces of high jewellery that can be deconstructed and worn multiple ways. A chorus of warm stones, the collection is a love song to the blazing sun with yellow spinels that are brighter than dawn.

The French director’s 1932 high jewellery collection is illuminated with precious stones and bursts of colour that also marry staggering structures. Studded coils wrap around the neck and twist along the wrist while gems, immaculately cut and set, are breathtakingly simple as they are a triumph in exceptional craftsmanship –– all reflections of the house’s approach to design.
