Untitled-1 126/08/2021 11:34:56 AMAt the center of the necklace, the 55.55-carat DFL Type IIa diamond is set in a made-to-measure bezel that, when viewed in profile, precisely reproduces the proportions of the stopper of the N°5 bottle. Above the central diamond, hand-cut baguette diamonds match the shape of the stopper. Below the central diamond, a set of 4 pear-shaped DFL Type IIa diamonds totalling 12.47 carats is custom cut to complement the main 8.36-carat pear-shaped diamond. As Gabrielle Chanel’s lucky symbol, the number 5 forms the clasp of the necklace. Untitled-1 226/08/2021 11:34:56 AMCHANEL CELEBRATES N°5 In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel has an idea for a perfume which she calls N°5, her lucky number. This vision of creation owes its singularity to the permanence of one perspective: the idea above all else. In 2021, a High Jewellery collection celebrates the House’s emblematic number with a creative act that combines the audacity of a technical challenge with the freedom of an original approach. CHANEL High Jewellery creates the N°5 Collection, with a centrepiece that reveals a unique geometric virtuosity: a necklace whose design reflects all the defining features of the N°5 perfume bottle, composed of more than 700 diamonds set around a diamond specially cut to weigh 55.55 carats. The perfection of the idea has determined the weight in carats. This is an unprecedented approach: to start with a rough diamond, aiming not for the greatest weight but for the perfection of the stone, cut to the exact dimensions of an idea. Diamonds are eternal. To CHANEL, éternité, the French word for “eternity,” is first and foremost an anagram of étreinte, t he word for “embrace.” As such, this is how the House defines creation: an embrace between matter and spirit, which alone can give birth to a style. CHANEL reaffirms it today: creation is eternal.
