CHANEL Fine Jewellery pieces are created using exceptional gemstones and precious metals, selected for their aesthetic quality and rarity. To preserve their brilliancy, you are advised to give them very special care and handle them delicately.
In our Care & Services section, you will find a few recommendations for use and maintenance that will help you keep your jewellery in perfect condition for a long time.
CHANEL Jewellery watches are precious and delicate. They are water resistant but are not designed to be completely immersed in water. They are protected from dust, rain and splashing water. This protection is provided by a series of seals, which we recommend replacing every two years to ensure optimal protection.
The water resistance of your watch will be tested and renewed with each service performed by CHANEL workshops. A watch must never be worn in a sauna, Turkish bath, shower or bath as hot water may damage its water resistance seals.
CHANEL Fine Jewellery creations are made from the most precious materials and the rarest stones.
18K gold, which is gold of a millesimal fineness of 750, is the purest alloy used in jewellery. All CHANEL Fine Jewellery pieces are in either 18K gold or 950 platinum.
With a constant concern for quality, each precious stone is appraised by a gemmologist to ensure that its characteristics meet the technical and aesthetic criteria of the Maison. This is how CHANEL Fine Jewellery offers exceptional stones that are among the most beautiful in the world.
1. Diamond
All diamonds selected by CHANEL Fine Jewellery experts are natural and untreated. CHANEL Fine Jewellery integrates the expertise of a gemmologist into its diamond selection process, who takes care to examine each stone according to the 4C quality criteria:
DIAMOND QUALITY CRITERIA (4C)
The diamond comes in various shades, from the so-called "colourless" diamond, whose colour is assessed according to an internationally recognized scale, to the rare diamond of more or less saturated colour, such as yellow, blue, pink, green...
The quality of a diamond depends on the perfect combination of four criteria, known as the "4Cs", which combine endlessly to make each stone unique:
Clarity:
The clarity of a diamond is determined by the number, size, position, and colour of the inclusions visible in the stone. We judge its visibility with a magnifying glass x10.
Colour:
Generally speaking, the ideal diamond is characterised by the absence of colour. Thus, the more colourless a diamond is, the more valuable and rarer it is.
An international standard assigns the letter D to the completely colourless diamond and declines the rest of the alphabet as a yellow or brown hue appears in the stone.
Cut:
The cut is the element that highlights all the qualities of the diamond and thus reveals the most beautiful balance between brilliance, fire and sparkle. This is the only criterion that depends directly on man since the others are dictated by nature. Excellent proportions combined with perfect symmetry of the facets make it possible to capture the light and express all the brilliance of a carefully selected stone.
Carat:
In reference to the carob seed used in antiquity to measure the weight of diamonds, it is expressed in carats according to an international standard dating from 1907. One carat corresponds to 0.20 grams. The weight of the diamonds can be more than 3.50ct.

CERTIFICATION
CHANEL Fine Jewellery accompanies any round diamond weighing 0.25ct or greater, with a fancy cut greater than or equal to 0.50ct as a center stone, and any coloured diamond as a center stone, with a certificate from the internationally renowned GIA ("Gemological Institute of America") reference laboratory.
This certificate is a real identity card for the stone, including the mix of the 4Cs, but also a set of additional information.
2. Coloured gemstones
In a permanent quest for excellence, CHANEL Fine Jewellery selects only natural precious stones for its creations. Synthetic or imitation materials are not accepted in the House's collections. Certain treatments, recognized as traditional lapidary practices used historically in the stone market, can be accepted – such as the impregnation of emeralds by oiling or the heating of corundum (sapphires, rubies).
In order to guarantee the exceptional quality of the gems set in its creations, CHANEL Fine Jewellery can call on reference laboratories to analyse its creations. Their opinions contained in the gemmological reports are given in the current state of scientific knowledge.
CHANEL encourages respect for strict ethical, social, and environmental principles in terms of sourcing. Each diamond sold in a CHANEL Fine Jewellery boutique comes from legal sources, in full compliance with the certification system of the Kimberley Process, as defined by the United Nations, and the World Diamond Council System of Warranties (SoW), which fight against “conflict diamonds”. Each diamond comes with a certificate of authenticity that attests to this.

The history of CHANEL Fine Jewellery began one evening in 1932. At her private Faubourg Saint-Honoré mansion, Mademoiselle Chanel exhibited her first collection built around the twin themes of the Comet and the Diamond.
When CHANEL revived this activity in 1993, the collection paid homage to its origins in the form of reproductions and reinterpretations of the first pieces from the “Bijoux de Diamants” collection.
1997, the acquisition of one of the finest mansions in the Place Vendôme (situated at Number 18 in the famous square) and the creation of the Watches & Fine Jewellery Boutique seemed the natural conclusion to a secret itinerary that led Mademoiselle Chanel from her Faubourg Saint-Honoré mansion to Rue Cambon, and then on to the Ritz.
This move also marked CHANEL's appearance alongside its peers, the greatest names in fine jewellery. CHANEL Fine Jewellery demonstrates its coming of age through its constantly renewed creativity, forged around the fundamental symbols of the universe of Mademoiselle.
In 2007, CHANEL took luxury to a whole new level, always looking ahead to the future in the image of its founder, who used to say: "I want to be associated with what is yet to come.”
Behind the elegant facade designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart at 18 Place Vendôme, a new boutique now develops the major themes first proposed at that original exhibition held at Mademoiselle Chanel’s mansion.
In 1993, we enlisted the services of an independent designer who was selected for his creativity and expertise that met CHANEL’s stringent demands, and who was continually inspired by the world of Mademoiselle Chanel. In order to better consolidate and increase the growth of this activity, creation began within CHANEL starting in 2009. This decision gave CHANEL Fine Jewellery new momentum and helped definitively establish it among the most illustrious houses of the Place Vendôme.
Twenty-four years after its launch, CHANEL Fine Jewellery is still experiencing increasing success in the fine jewellery sector.
When she presented her first and only high jewellery collection in 1932, Gabrielle Chanel set a tone that would endure: the line leads. Material is no longer a limit, as gold and diamonds give way to designs inspired by her perception of the world. Just like ribbons, the pieces move with the contours of a woman’s body, allowing her to feel liberated and move freely.
This technical feat can be found at the heart of the creation process for CHANEL Fine Jewellery. Each raw material stones, pearls and precious metals is carefully selected by experts following standards of the highest quality, in particular the 4 Cs of diamonds (colour, clarity, cut and carat).
Located at Place Vendôme, the birthplace of French Fine Jewellery, the creative studio is where technical know-how meets ingenuity. A place where the purity of the materials is combined with the expertise of artisan jewellers to create pieces with a uniquely recognisable allure.

We kindly ask that you provide us with the contact information for the vendor (name and place of sale, regardless if it is a store or a website) so that we can verify if it is CHANEL authorised or not, and so that we can consider which actions should be taken to put an end to activities that may constitute acts of counterfeiting.

This is why, in your interest, we recommend only purchasing CHANEL goods from CHANEL Boutiques and authorised CHANEL websites and retailers. This way, there is no risk of encountering counterfeit goods. You can find a list of these retailers on the Store Locator section of our website.
