Chanel stops time

High jewelry on the wave of tradition by Maison Chanel. The name of collection: Coco Avant Chanel.
Coco Chanel divided in two by the time: before and after. The first gave inspiration to a fine jewelry collection called, precisely, Coco Avant Chanel. The collection consists of 11 parure, imagine for many women, in each of which the Parisian Maison gave a name. As Emilienne, which prefers finery made from beads, while Jeanne entrusted the pink sapphires and white diamonds marquise cut. And pearls for Martha, who even gets 220 for her parure, while in other cases there is a total of white gold and diamonds. The collection includes also two jewelery watches. Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, known as Coco for all, it would probably be proud: one time ago, for women wear a watch was dishonorable (yes, many years ago it was considered vulgar), and timepieces were transformed as precious jewels, for those who could afford it. The Jeanne clock, for example, uses 500 diamonds, with geometric patterns reminiscent of the style of Mademoiselle Chanel. The collection, presented in Paris during the haute couture shows, has aroused impression. But it not for the price of the jewelry: it is only communicated on request. Giulia Netrese

Chanel, harvest of diamonds

Few know that Gabrielle Chanel, founder of the homonymous Maison, was a woman who does not disown her peasant origins. Indeed, she had a way of expressing her passion for some rural symbols, as the sheaves of grain. Perhaps also because the collection of ears of wheat anticipated just her birthday, August 19. This rural atmosphere, transformed into jewels, now comes to the Ritz Hotel in Paris, in the Place Vendôme, with a surprise: a performance by Gad Weil, land artist, who brought a small cornfield in the “sacred square” of the jewelry. Inside the Ritz, however, the Chanel Suite shows an other suite, but jewelery, always inspired by the wheat, in gold, diamonds and precious stones. It is including the Fête des Moissons (feast of the harvest in French language), a necklace with fancy diamonds 25-carat yellow with an octagonal pattern, which alludes to the perimeter of the Place Vendôme and other 95 carats colored diamonds in various cuts, to compose the ears of corn. It is an extraordinary jewel composed of 1,200 diamonds weighing 120 carats. Who knows who will be able to afford such a gleaning. Margherita Donato

The look of Keira Knightley with Chanel

Chanel Joaillerie has a new face: Keira Knightley, British actress who is the new ambassadress of the Parisian Maison. She has a link with the french house: she has already been the muse of the perfume Coco Mademoiselle and Rouge Coco. Now the actress will be the face of the jewelry line of the «double C». The collection with the famous matelassage (quilting) is the first match for Keira, who has just completed a series of shows on Broadway and will be on screens in the movie Beauty Collateral by David Frankel. The first image you see on this page has had an autor shoot, that of Mario Testino, who will supervise the entire photographic campaign. The actress appears leaning against the back of a fauteuil, with a bracelet in gold and diamonds, multiple rings on the fingers and a thick necklace around her neck. She is dressed in a simple black sweater, her hair is adorned with a band, and bears an intense expression, but not joyful. A woman who reflects and  does not substitute her thoughts with her beauty. Finally. Keira Knightley and Chanel’s bond dates back to 2006, when she wore the jewels of the French company on numerous occasions and in particular in the film Anna Karenina. Rudy Serra

What brilliant hours with Chanel

To start 2016, Chanel introduced Signature de Chanel (we talked about here). At Baselworld the Maison has decided to insist on quilted style, as the iconic quilted handbag named 2.55. But this time the protagonists are jewelery-watches (more jewelry that timepieces, for the truth). The high jewelery timepieces are part of The Eternal Chanel line. Two models that use the plot into diamonds are exceptional pieces, as you can see from the pictures. La Montre à Secret Signature Diamant takes the form of a bracelet rather broad, in 18 carat white gold with pavé diamonds and 16 triangles, also of diamonds. And the center is another diamond, this time to 5.26 carat briolette cut, which conceals a round dial. The other model is called Montre à Secret Signature Morganite, this one again in the shape of wide bracelet in white gold with diamonds. But in this case the center is a 43.66 carat pink morganite pyramid covering the dial. By the way, what time is it? Margherita Donato

The mini signatures by Chanel

We have already anticipated the new collection of Chanel for 2016, called Signature de Chanel (https://gioiellis.com/i-gioielli-2-55-di-chanel/). It is dedicated to that particular type of work quilt that was used for the bag named 2.55, launched by Coco Chanel in 1955. Now we have new images of the collection, which you can see on this page. The drawing on the typical square shape of the processing of leather is also repeated for the compounds bracelets solely from white gold and diamond, while for square earrings and necklaces assume a vaguely conical shape. The most surprising piece, however, is the great backlace necklace, which fully covers the back of the model wearing it. The collection of Chanel are also part other mini-collections, like Signature de Saphir, which combines sapphires and diamonds in square cut, brilliant, baguette and triangle, while Signature de Perles, as is evident, uses Japanese cultured pearls with diamond cut emerald, brilliant and pillow.

The jewelry 2.55 by Chanel

In Paris, the great names of the jewelery seize the opportunity of high fashion shows to present their new collections: as Chanel, which showed the Signature line. La Maison, in fact, has accompanied clothes for Spring-Summer 2016 with 48 pieces of jewelry of high class, with diamonds, pearls and rock crystal or sapphires. Earrings, rings, bracelets wide, and not only, have a geometric design that is inspired by the motives of the fifties. A special design of the stones can provide a leather effect colored sapphires and diamonds are combined as a quilt with a cut that makes it look soft gems. You processing quilted, made famous by Coco Chanel in 1955, which was used on the bag named 2.55, became one of the symbols of Chanel. Sapphires and diamonds continue this reason, along with pearls and white gold. In the collection is also a jewel-watch with diamonds of 13.5 carats. Matilde de Bounvilles

Cruise with Chanel

It is not for the winter, it is not for the summer, but it’s for the holidays: the Chanel cruise collection offers long necklaces, but also chocker and bracelets. Jewelry made from long chains and decorations made of resin, glass paste to form synthetic pearls, sometimes elements of jade, but also rhinestones and plexiglass. In short, no gold or diamonds, emeralds or rubies: this is luxury jewelery, starting from the price: it carries an average over a thousand euro, until it touches the 2,600 (exact prices can be found in the captions). It is a collection that does not last long, so if you are interested get in quickly. Sure, it’s a demanding choice from one point of view: the relationship between cost and quality into account the brand, the classic letters CC overturned that are imprinted on the various pieces of jewelry and decreed membership to the caste of high-end fashion . It is, in short, a choice primarily concerned with their dependence on the appeal of the brand. To you will judge. Matilde de Bounvilles

It is not the first award that receives Victoire de Castellane for his skill and fame conquered in 2011 the whimsical designer received the Legion of Honor of France. And her jewelry are considered works of art, so much so that were exhibited in a gallery that is the temple of the New York art, Gagosian. The recognition received in New York, then, is also an opportunity to look at his production. She explains it this way: “It all starts with the idea and with the stones that are purchased by design,” he said. “I do a quick sketch on a post-it, I talk about it with my studio doing a gouache (drawing at actual size of the jewel, often from different angles). We submit this design at studio based in Paris. Then, following many coming and going between the studio and me, so that every step, from the wax for melting al”impostazione or polishing conforms with the image I had of the jewel. It takes between 18 and 24 months to get a piece of fine jewelry.”

Chanel under the sign of Leo




Chanel lion’s roar never ends. Launched in 2012, the collection of fine jewelry Sous le signe du Lion is renewed in the classical style and aggressive shape. The collection recalls with nostalgia, the love of the founder of the fashion house, Coco Chanel, to Venice, the city in which she lived after the death of the beloved Boy Capel and where the jewels were presented at launch. Originally, the collection consisted of 58 pieces of fine jewelry. Another coincidence: the creative French was actually born under the zodiac sign of Leo. And the fashion designer has interpreted the image of the king of the forest as a symbol of strength, and also as a sign of his fate. So the lion continued to play an important part in the symbolic language of Coco. Who now lives more sparkling than ever. Here are pictures of the new pieces of the series. Matilde de Bounvilles

Maxi on the catwalk

Fashion, love and style. On the catwalks of Paris have also appeared bijou that, if you really it are not always practical in everyday life, can be fun on special occasions. Ok, necklace Lanvin is not suitable to buy broccoli at the market, but will arouse curiosity at a party. And the max bracelet signed Balmain might be hard while you cut the zucchini, but along with a white dress perfectly complete the outfit. And the same can be argued for the crown and earrings Dolce & Gabbana: catwalks that become a stage, even for jewelery. M.d.B.

The talismans of Chanel

Curious coincidence: as De Beers (https://gioiellis.com/un-talisman-per-de-beers), also Chanel has a new high jewelery collection called Les Talismans. We see that the precious jewels are increasingly seen also able to protect. In fact, in hindsight, I’m really a talisman, at least from an economic point of view, as an investment. Les Talismans Chanel offers a number of items of great value, where the aesthetic motif of the luck, actually, is not always immediately obvious. But who cares? If also does not protect against diseases and misfortunes, a jewel still remains a pleasure to wear. Diamonds, Japanese cultured pearls, sapphires, multicolored lacquer and enamel are sufficient to trigger the good humor (especially when you get the jewel as a gift). And you know: who is cheerful has better luck. Giulia Netrese

Secrets of Place Vendome

Place Vendôme, one of the mythical places of jewelry. And also a vantage point to understand trends, including those of marketing, for an object so sophisticated and privileged as the result of the combination of passion, manual skills and artistic sensibility. Place Vendome is the virtual capital of the jewelry, which is overlooked by the windows of jewelers sometimes with a tradition centennial as Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget and Cartier. And the Paris square is the starting point of a long investigation that the French newspaper Les Echos, dedicated to the world of jewelry. To understand what is the future and what are the new sales techniques. The article is signed by Sandrine Merle.
Secrets of jewelers
Beyond the beauty of their creations, jewelers struggle to convince their customers: new experiences, and showcases with iconic choreography. It’s their recipe for seduction. Buy jewelry that cost thousands, even millions of euro is not an ordinary act. The first challenge of the jewelers is to make buying an extraordinary experience. “Customers want to know where, how and why their jewelry are designed and manufactured,” says Pierre Rainero, director for the style of Cartier. (…)
By Harry Winston, Cartier and Piaget a piece of jewelry is also the result of a long history. Nothing better than a visit to the heart of the archives, drawings, orders, antique jewelry to understand the inspirations of Mellerio. In the Chaumet museum there are a thousand and one echo the work of artistic director, Claire must-Rakoff. As the apartment of Mademoiselle Chanel’s at Rue Cambon, speaks for itself, with camellias, lions and the 5, the lucky number of the designer. “This place is open only in exceptional cases,” says the director of jewelry, Benjamin Comar, reminiscent of other occasions such as parades, exhibitions and launch of Chanel’s collections. And the Bulgari customers still remember the fabulous dinner at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome. (…)
The stones, which cost exorbitant prices are a real investment, do not keep the “stoniness” shadows. Who travels the world in search of gems, can share with customer the emotions derived from these natural treasures. Lucia Silvestri for Bulgari, Thierry Robert for Boucheron, can tell them what is a combination, namely an assortment of stones by size or color, or inclusion, a defect that can also give an indefinable charm gem. Van Cleef & Arpels has had the idea of ​​putting together all his experiences in his school, which opened in 2012. “We thought of a platform to extend our relationship with our customers,” says the president of the Maison, Nicolas Bos. There you can attend lessons of history or technique, taught by historians and experts. Customers thus become specialists who do not buy just a design or a sign of wealth. I am also aware of the work that goes into a piece of fine jewelry and will include the price. Then, they are more willing to wait a few months for the object of their mad desire.
Shines the eye
The experience may also take the form a priori more traditional and more open “to all new arrivals”: the shop windows. Today the cure is extreme. Now the windows look like small theatrical scenes in which we tell stories which can stir the imagination, surprise and encourage a stop in front of the glass. For Annie Beaumel, priestess of the showcase of Hermès (between 1927 and 1978), “should not be a display, but a work of imagination, whimsy, fantasy, colors.” “The difficulty lies in the disproportion between the size of the display case and jewelry,” says Soline d’Aboville of set designers preferred by jewelers. “The window shop is used to capture the attention from afar, while the jewel must be visible up close …”. The windows express more the story of a brand by introducing systematic recognition codes. The Red and the panther for Cartier. The lion, black and white, and the Chanel camellia. New York for Tiffany & Co. The environment of fashion for Dior.
Brand and symbols
For Louis Vuitton elements correspond to those that characterize the brand: the cloverleaf of fortune, the hot-air balloon or, more recently, the letter V. By Van Cleef & Arpels, are the Jules Verne tale: The voyages, the Skin Donkey, and ballet Les Bals de légende, in a firework of light, color and optical illusions. The look can not be separated by thousands of micro-details, from the texts with letters inspired by Gustave Doré. At Tiffany & Co., the windows are breathtaking. There are, for a couple of months, the jewels of the collection Gatsby Le Magnifique: they were presented on two hands holding each a glass of champagne, on a background of glass bubbles. Giant crystal chandeliers dominate the scene. These windows follow the tradition of Gene Moore, “the father of all the window dressers and visual merchandiser,” says Soline d’Aboville. Has built about 5 thousand for the American fashion house and was the first to introduce contemporary art. He finds himself in the windows shop the manual dexterity which is so dear to jewelers: are involved countless skills, as Christel Sadde, and furniture designer. He has created a set unusual and fascinating for Chaumet, with gold medals perforated. For its part, Mathilde Nivet works with paper, extremely popular material for jewelry. Fred, Mellerio, Bulgari, Chaumet: many have turned to the poetry of his work, to his ability to carve, bend, cut this material in feathers, flowers, castles.
The casket secret
Last secret, the attention to the packaging, which is part of the art of gift. It is at the center of a ceremony that serves to better savor the discovery. “It get euphoric, multiplies the mystery. It opens with pleasure and surprise,” say at Cartier. Which is recognizable at first sight. Famous for everyone, highlighted in red leather with decorative lace in gold, was part diu all advertising campaigns and all the windows. One packaging developed by the Maison Vuitton in 2001, when he started with the jewelry, it is equally recognizable: it takes the form of a canvas with the famous Monogram and is made in the laboratories of the house, in Asnieres.
A challenge, because the artisans capable of this work are now in danger. And the prices are astronomical: 2 thousand euro for the casket of a necklace, made of poplar wood and leather lining. For the designer Marie-Hélène de Taillac, it was still out of the question to move to the manufacture in Asia: “It is extremely important, their part in shaping the identity of the fashion house,” he says. His treasures are divided with skins of different colors and perfectly match the jewels and his shop: pink, green, purple, etc. All are designed to the last detail, with the favorite motifs shown on the edge. Inside, the color changes according to the one of the precious stones. Even the sound dull and sharp lid during its closure is designed …
In terms of creativity, anything is possible. Valerie Messika has designed a special environment for engagement rings. “The idea came to me when my husband gave me my ring, at night, on the beach,” he remembers, and describes the little black box that lights up when you open. Enough to give ideas to the great romantics. At Fred, a box has been specially designed for the ring Sugarloaf: different accommodations are possible for its removable stones. One of the most original ideas was, a few years ago, that of Solange Azagury-Partridge, then artistic director of Boucheron: a lined interior with dark mink, for fine jewelry. What better way to blend the brilliance of a jewel in the hundreds of thousands of dollars?
According to Julie Valade, director of the department of jewelry Artcurial, “in the case of a modern jewel, the packaging is a plus.” Especially if it is a jewel signed. The packaging of an old piece can also help determine the authenticity of the latter. For collectors, is a form of guarantee. “It can also be a source of many surprises …” said the jeweler Mellerio, which has just celebrated its 400th anniversary. In fact, the chests of the jewels of the nineteenth century often had secret doors that hid a pin, a pendant, a screwdriver or messages… intimate. Place Vendôme has not yet revealed all its secrets.

(Italiano) Chanel a sorpresa vende online

Sorry, this entry is only available in Italian. For the sake of viewer convenience, the content is shown below in the alternative language. You may click the link to switch the active language.

Avete ammirato la nuova capsule collection di ChanelCoco Crush (https://gioiellis.com/una-sbandata-per-coco-crush/ ) e non volete aspettare fino alla fine del mese per precipitarvi ad acquistarla nelle boutique? Da metà aprile e per tre settimane i sei pezzi della maison francese saranno in vendita sulla piattaforma e-commerce Net-a-Porter. Certo, non costeranno meno rispetto al prezzo di listino dei negozi, che parte da 19 mila euro per il bracciale alto, 3.250 euro per l’anello a fascia media e 1.970 per la versione più sottile, ma si tratta comunque di un’iniziativa singolare visto che Chanel, insieme a Celine, non vende online, né sul proprio sito né in qualsiasi altro portale web. In realtà un progetto di e-commerce c’è già e dovrebbe partire nel 2016, e così questa vendita a tempo solo per i gioielli sembra più un test più che l’inizio di una nuova alleanza, ma si tratta comunque di una partnership desiderata da 15 anni come ha dichiarato su Instagram  Natalie Messenet, fondatrice della società venduta nel 2010, conservando il ruolo di amministratore delegato, al gruppo Richemont proprietario di tanti marchi di alta gamma, tra cui Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget e Montblanc. Troppo presto per prevedere se l’accordo avrà altri pop un shop, intanto bisogna vedere i risultati di questa prova. Monica Battistoni

A Crush for Coco

From leather to gold: here the Crush Coco capsule collection by Chanel, inspired by the famous “matelassé”or quilted pattern seen in many accessories. Engraved into metal, which is the contemporary interpretation of the diamond motifs of 2.55, one of the bags most desired by women. This success was born in February 1955, hence the acronym as a name, then applied in the years to wallets, shoes and all the luxury leather goods. And now runs on cuff-bracelets and rings in white and yellow gold 18 carat. The quilted effect is obviously stylized, but the round shapes a little remember the softness of the leather of this line named Coco Crush. Something similar to the passion for the criss-cross pattern shown by Maison’s customers for over 60 years. And to think that were the stable boys horse racings jackets to suggest this pattern to Mademoiselle, who liked to say: «The best things in life are free. The second best are very expensive». Here pictures and video. G. N.

[wzslider]Anche a Chanel piacciono i gioielli di lusso. Lo dimostra la nuova collezione di Alta Gioielleria, Café Society. Lo stile è complesso, con molte sfumature esotiche, orientali. Forse (è probabile) per catturare l’interesse dei mercati asiatici, tra i pochi in forte crescita. Chanel ha presentato 87 pezzi di alta gioielleria. Di questi, 18 sono stati recentemente presentati alla Biennale di Parigi per la prima volta. La collezione presenta inconsueti abbinamenti di pietre preziose, con tagli innovativi. Ci sono pattern a scacchi dei petali e prismi piegati, in una specie di mosaico prezioso. O, se preferite, in una sorta di puzzle di metalli pregiati e gemme. Ma non solo: ci sono anche gli smalti nella tradizione «grand feu», una tecnica di realizzazione che è ormai molto rara, che produce superfici molto resistenti. Ecco alcune immagini della collezione.
