The strong modern lines with the signature quilting pattern offer a playful, statement piece for one’s high jewellery collection.
Importantly, the Coco Crush collection isn’t relegated to the dusty jewellery box; it can be worn for the everyday look in whichever way you like.
The Coco Crush collection is also offered in the exclusive Chanel alloy and “code” – beige gold. Natural beige and gold are transformed into a new element that offers a slightly rosier tone to its traditional gold counterparts.
This is perhaps Mademoiselle Chanel’s most impressive power: her ability to take the unassuming – whether it’s a natural element, such as her favourite camellia flowers or beige tones, or the padded quilting on horse saddles – and raise their status into the world of high fashion.
The new Quilted Motif Two-Finger Ring offers a mix of 18-carat yellow gold and white gold with clustered diamonds.
Two-finger rings have been making their way in luxury jewellery over the years, with luxury brands such as Dior and Saint Laurent also having joined the trend.
The Coco Crush two-finger ring is a sophisticated take on this streetwear style, without overtly exposing the connection between the two rings, or restricting the fingers in a single compartment.
The quilted motif is in full view on both yellow- and white-gold versions
Once a landmark moment in the history of haute couture, quilting was not immediately associated with high-fashion before Chanel debuted quilted linings, collars and cuffs, and matelasse dresses and robes on her 1920s runways.
It was such a brazen, elevated use of a traditionally humble fabrication process that Vogue magazine noted Chanel’s “flights of fancy: dress fronts in shiny, quilted silk” in November 1924.
Compared with more obtrusive wide hoops, the Coco Crush huggie earrings offer something more wearable for the day-to-day.
The earrings, available in 18 carat white and beige gold and diamonds, feature the subtle quilt pattern.
English actress Keira Knightley has reprised her role as Coco Crush ambassador in a series of 2019 campaign videos.
She quotes style advice from Mademoiselle Chanel before adding her own rebellious, playful interpretation of the Coco Crush collection.
And that seems to be the jewellery collection’s philosophy; wear the pieces however they suit you because, after all, it’s for you.
