Let Every Gem Be Your Wings

From the very beginning, Gabrielle Chanel charted her own course—fearlessly championing freedom and independence. Her life was a continuous unfolding, a journey of becoming, captured in her timeless creed: “If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing.”

In the radiant glow of 1930s Hollywood, Chanel redefined glamour—not with opulence, but with a graceful simplicity that spoke of quiet confidence. It is this spirit that inspired the Reach for the Stars jewellery collection.

Composed by Patrice Leguéreau and the CHANEL Fine Jewelry Creation Studio, the collection brings Gabrielle Chanel’s vision to life through three emblematic motifs—the comet, the lion, and the wing—each capturing a facet of her spirit and journey.

The comet streaks across the night like a trail of brilliance, its sweeping arcs of gold, onyx, and diamonds capturing the dazzling allure of the starry skies. At its heart, the Silhouette Clock offers a tender homage—a figure of Gabrielle herself gazing upward, forever reaching.

The lion, Gabrielle’s astrological sign, takes form in luminous white gold and cascading diamonds, its powerful poise and sculpted mane evoking an elegance born of strength.

A symbol of freedom, the wing motif draws inspiration from Gabrielle’s timeless mantra, taking flight in airy silhouettes and fluid, feather-light forms. Ethereal openwork pieces evoke the delicate grace of lace, while diamond-studded wings sweep around the neck—anchored by a luminous 19.55-carat Padparadscha sapphire—and ascend to frame the face in a winged tiara and earrings.

A symphony of contrasts plays throughout—sculptural forms softened by delicate details, monochromes enlivened by vivid gemstones. Pink sapphires, tanzanites, and yellow diamonds capture the shifting hues of dawn and dusk, marking the passage of time and the cycles of renewal.

Designed with versatility at their core, each piece allows effortless transformation from necklace to bracelet to ring—a tribute to the spirit of self-discovery and growth. Unbound by rules, as Gabrielle herself was, Reach for the Stars invites women to rise, embrace their true selves, and shine with fearless beauty.
