The house revisits Gabrielle Chanel’s 1932 vision, translating perfume lore into gold, diamonds and a 0.30-carat centre stone.
CHANEL has returned to the mythology of N°5, setting the fragrance’s decisive numeral in gold and diamonds for a fresh chapter in its Fine Jewelry portfolio. The collection follows the 2021 debut of the 55.55 necklace, a 55.55-carat tribute to the scent’s centenary that now rests in the house heritage archive.
Like Gabrielle Chanel’s 1932 Bijoux de Diamant, the latest pieces treat perfume as blueprint. The line starts with two shapes: a short necklace that can tighten to choker length and a bracelet built in white, BEIGE and yellow gold. A bangle, ring and single earring in yellow gold complete what CHANEL calls Eternal N°5, mirroring the liquid’s golden tone.
Five design codes, all drawn from the bottle, guide the work. Round diamonds run like a ribbon of light; an articulated drop echoes a bead of perfume; a brilliant-cut stone nestles inside the curve of the pavé numeral; beveled mirror-polished edges recall the bottle’s silhouette; and broad gold planes heighten the stones’ brightness.
The necklace shifts from collarbone-skimming to choker, while the diamond-encrusted five guards a GIA-certified 0.30-carat stone. On the bracelet, an invisible clasp hidden inside the numeral opens with the familiarity of a 2.55 bag lock. Both designs appear in three gold colours, underscoring the house’s taste for versatility.
The collection’s geometry echoes Gabrielle’s own maxim that a CHANEL woman must “be a part of what is to come.” By placing her signature number at the centre of a refined diamond line, the house keeps that invitation wide-open.
