After Gabrielle Chanel discovered tweed during her love affair with the Duke of Westminster, she turned this sturdy woven woolen material from Scotland into a byword for chic luxury.
This is his second interpretation of the house’s signature material in gold and gemstones after a 45-piece first chapter launched in 2020 that included the “Tweed Couture” necklace, which was reproduced and added to the house’s patrimony in January.Working with the fabric’s warp and weft motif also offered the possibility of having both creative and strikingly novel designs as well as a sense of classicism that would give the jewels a more timeless appeal, he added.
Central to this collection is the “Tweed Royal” necklace, a yellow-gold plastron necklace set with diamonds and 37 rubies, featuring an intricate weave design that helps it settle flush against the skin like the “armor of fabric” Gabrielle Chanel intended.A detachable lion head motif can be worn as a brooch and the 10.17 pear-cut diamond that drips from the feline’s mane can be detached and worn as a ring.
A throughline in the collection is Leguéreau’s intention of teasing “life, poetry, lightness and femininity…from a material that is very geometric and structured by nature.” Each theme is finished with an important ring, featuring its signature motif on under the stone, flush against the skin.For each theme, a “Tweed Icône” cocktail ring brings a compact weave together with an important central stone. Hidden on the bridge is a filigree motif that nods to each theme, from a star to a stylized lion’s head.
The “Tweed de Chanel” collection forms a pivotal triptych in Chanel’s high jewelry, alongside the No.5 and 1932 collections, paying homage to the brand’s iconic perfume and first high jewelry designs.
