The CHANEL Facettes ring is a striking creation from
CHANEL’s iconic
“1932” High Jewelry collection,
a line conceived as a tribute to the visionary legacy of
Gabrielle Chanel
and the historic jewelry designs she unveiled in Paris in 1932. The
CHANEL Facettes ring
embodies the Maison’s fascination with geometry, celestial symbolism and modern elegance, translating these themes into a sculptural jewel of remarkable precision.
The defining feature of the
CHANEL Facettes ring
lies in its bold use of
triangular-cut sapphires.
A total of
27 sapphires weighing 21.4 carats
are meticulously selected for their harmonious color saturation and clarity. Each stone is positioned with exacting precision so that the sapphires interlock seamlessly, forming a faceted surface that resembles the planes of a single, monumental gemstone. The name “Facettes,” derived from the French word for “facets,” directly reflects this architectural design language.
Interspersed among the sapphires are
158 round-cut diamonds,
with a combined weight of
2.3 carats.
These diamonds are set to evoke a
starry-sky effect,
introducing rhythm and brilliance to the deep blue sapphire surface. Their placement enhances the contrast between sharp geometric lines and luminous sparkle, a balance that defines the aesthetic of the
CHANEL Facettes ring.
The sapphire prongs are ingeniously shaped into a refined
star motif,
a subtle homage to the
comet and celestial symbols
frequently seen in Gabrielle Chanel’s original high jewelry creations. Along the outer edges of the ring, round diamonds are
bezel-set within circular gold frames,
their radiant fire accentuating the intense blue tones of the sapphires while reinforcing the cosmic inspiration behind the design.
The ring shank is crafted in
platinum
and sculpted into irregular
triangular facets
that naturally echo the geometry of the sapphires above. Both sides of the band are further accented with round diamonds, creating visual continuity and ensuring that the brilliance of the
CHANEL Facettes ring
is visible from every angle.
