“When creating the SPORT high-end jewelry series, I was inspired by Chanel’s sporting style, which is an integral part of the brand’s history: elegant lines and free movement.” – Patrice Leguéreau, Director of Chanel Jewelry Creative Studio
Body awareness and free movement are at the core of the creations of Gabrielle Chanel, the brand's founder. As early as 1921, she established a workshop to produce sportswear under her own haute couture brand. The charm and characteristics of sports can be seen in her early style.
In 2024, Chanel will grandly present the "Sport" high-end jewelry series designed by Patrice Leguéreau, director of the jewelry creative studio. The series perfectly combines elegance and practical functionality through the use of unique aesthetics, exquisite craftsmanship and carefully selected precious gemstones. This is also the first time that Chanel has celebrated its sporty style through jewelry creation, emphasizing the charm and rhythmic beauty of women.
SWEATER Ring
SWEATER Necklace and Ring
The SWEATER necklace is carefully made of platinum, gold, diamonds, sapphires and red lacquer, and is set with a D VVS1 brilliant-cut diamond weighing approximately 1.04 carats, showing excellent craftsmanship and elegant design.
The SWEATER ring is also made of platinum, gold, diamonds, sapphires and red lacquer, with a 2.01 carat E VVS2 brilliant-cut diamond in the center. Its gorgeous design and exquisite craftsmanship complement each other, perfectly presenting a luxurious and noble temperament.
The delicate and smooth lines used to outline the jewelry pieces that fit the body coincide with the design principles of sportswear. The V-shaped totem of the jewelry reminds people of rhythm and speed. The simple and flowing tapered structure adds a modern feel, and the colorful lines also inject dynamism and vitality into the shape. At the same time, the series reinterprets Gabrielle Chanel's favorite codes to make the design more dynamic.
These symbols include the number 5 depicted in Chronometer font, a lion embedded in the emblem, and a star totem symbolizing victory. The "CHANEL" logo also appears for the first time in a top-quality jewelry piece with a hollow design. The designer uses convertible design and modular concept to make the work feel light to wear, perfectly echoing the spirit of free movement.
