For 2024, CHANEL finds inspiration in the iconic lion to dream up a new high jewelry collection filled with charm and poise. Through its marvels, it revisits the sign under which is born the founder of the Maison Gabrielle Chanel, and which became a powerful symbol in her vocabulary of style.
Solar and majestic, the King of the Zodiac made its first appearance in 2012 in the world of CHANEL High Jewelry, adorning the "Constellation du Lion" necklace – which is today one of the masterpieces preserved in the CHANEL High Jewelry Patrimoine. Then again, in 2013 and 2018, high jewelry collections entitled "Sous le Signe du Lion” and "L’esprit du Lion" explored this creature in the richest of ways.
This year, the “Lion Solaire de CHANEL” high jewelry collection stays true to the lion’s powerful and majestic character through five new pieces – a necklace, two rings and two pairs of earrings. As its mane, composed of pear-shaped motifs and marquise-cut motifs, paved or set with diamonds, undulates and captures the light, its graphic lines converge towards the feline’s piercing gaze – all in a pure expression of the power and creativity of CHANEL High Jewelry.
