55.55...

It’s hard to believe that CHANEL N°5 was launched 100 years ago in 1921.

To celebrate the birthday their high end jewellery design studio is honouring it with a collection of pieces inspired by the brand’s famous scent and signature bottle called Collection No. 5.

The highlight of the collection is a signature 55.55 carat diamond necklace whose design reflects the CHANEL N°5 bottle design

Made up of more than 700 diamonds and culminating in a detachable 55.55 carat emerald-cut stone, the Bottle necklace has a neckband full of diamond baquettes. Five pear-cut stones, identical in quality, including an 8.36 carat diamond, represent droplets of the fabled perfume. I don’t think calling it stunning comes anywhere close…

They have celebrated the iconic scent using five timeless motifs: The Bottle, The Stopper, The Number, The Flowers and what they call “The Ethereal Fragrance trail.” There are 120 pieces in the collection, each one lovelier than the last.
