What Dreams Are Made Of: Chanel Tweed Couture
At first glance it may sound daring and even strange: gold and diamonds as a tribute to a Scottish textile? It takes a lot of imagination and a lot of courage to realize this vision, yet fortunately, there is no shortage of the former or the latter at Chanel. The wool fabric, which is one of the characteristic style elements of the house and Gabrielle Chanel’s favourite material, now enjoys the most luxurious upgrade of all time.
Savoir-faire
Interweaving the significant textile into the world of jewellery is certainly no easy task. To accomplish this feat, the haute joaillerie studio developed a special technique by means of which diamonds, pearls, and sapphires can be layered on several levels and intertwined. The result of the approximately 45-piece collection, are necklaces, rings, and bracelets with splendid, structural effects. The precious materials are utilized in an incomparable manner, smooth, tender and flowing, noble, but still effortlessly modern. Highlights include the “Tweed Frangé” set in white gold and diamonds and the “Tweed Couture” pieces in platinum, rose gold with diamonds, pink sapphires, and spinel gemstones. Each piece is inspirational in its own way and thereby represents timeless beauty. Perhaps even more so than the fabric itself!
