The contrasting allure of this Chanel Camellia necklace
Gabrielle Chanel erected the camellia as an emblem because this flower is devoid of fragrance and thorns, offering a pure form. The Camélia Galbé collection reinterprets this icon by introducing black high-tech ceramic, renowned for its resistance and unalterable polish. This second-hand choker emphasises a strong duality. The centre of the 2 corollas is set with brilliant-cut diamonds weighing an estimated 0.20 carat, creating a luminous contrast with the dark surface of the ceramic. The setting is cast in 18-carat white gold. The reference J10802 seals the identity of this creation by the House of Chanel.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The asymmetrical architecture of this pendant deploys generous volumes. The back of the white gold setting reveals a complex openwork designed to offer lightness when worn while encouraging light to penetrate beneath the gems. The double foliage motif, covered by a seed-setting, is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The pavement is set with 45 natural diamonds weighing an estimated 0.45 carat. To ensure a certain flexibility, 2 diamonds held in a closed setting operate an articulated junction between the floral elements.
Why this second-hand necklace
The acquisition of this second-hand jewellery is part of an aesthetic and judicious approach. The costs involved in the complex machining of the ceramics and the hand setting place this type of manufacture at a rare level of requirement. The purchaser takes ownership of a total of 0.65 carats of diamonds. This positioning offers the opportunity to incorporate a graphically designed archive piece into one's collection.
