In a dynamic dance of light and shine, the Signes & Symboles high jewellery collection from Chanel captures Gabrielle Chanel’s enchanting reverence for the power of emblems. Divided into four sections that each explore a signature symbol from the house’s vast design canon – the Camellia, Star, Sun and Lion – the offering nods to the founder’s rich life, looking to her personal history, memories, travels and inspirations. Rooted in Coco’s belief that creation is an act of freedom and reinterpreting this through a contemporary lens, the 85-piece collection blends opulent form with geometric precision. Built around the ‘precious four’ gemstones – sapphire, ruby, emerald and diamond – the colour palette is bold and unapologetic, emulating Chanel’s approach to design.
