Chanel presents its magnificent jewelry collection called Sous le Signe du Lion, honoring the Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s zodiac sign: Leo. The collection includes 58 stunningly beautiful jewelry pieces, flaunting beautiful design elements inspired by the king of the jungle himself.
The ‘Lion Rugissant’ ring features a roaring lion made using onyx, white gold and diamonds, while the outsized diamond bracelet also flaunts a lion’s head as its centerpiece. The “San Marco Lion” ring in tribute to the lion Saint Mark’s Basilica, presents a lion sculpted in lapis lazuli and a yellow diamond-set star with a white center diamond.
The ‘Lion Céleste’ brooch resembling the lion of Venice is made using white gold and diamonds, and looks absolutely spectacular. The “Constellation of Lion” brooch and earrings in yellow and white gold with diamonds, sapphires and yellow quartz combines both the lion and comet patterns.
Created using white gold, platinum and diamonds, the ‘Lion Royal’ necklace represents the collection’s centerpiece, which can be worn both as a sautoir and as a shorter necklace and its detachable lion’s head motif can be worn as a brooch. Chanel’s mosaic-style necklace also flaunts a lion motif, which can be somewhat difficult to spot since it is hidden amongst a dazzling pattern of diamonds.
The elegant “Astral Lion” necklace is shaped in a lion’s head seconded and is framed with two crescent moons in white gold and diamonds. The “Lion Imperial” set combined white gold with cultured pearls and diamonds to create a true signing piece of Mademoiselle Chanel. “Lion Talisman” is a sumptuous medallion with a lion’s head decorated with white gold and diamonds.
