They do say diamonds are a girl’s best friend — and this weekend in Monaco, Chanel proved it once again.
On October 25, the Principality hosted the inaugural Grand Prix de la Haute Joaillerie,
a new event celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation in
the world of fine jewelry. “We designed this Grand Prix as a celebration
that brings together all the players in the industry—from
stone-producing countries to the Maisons and their muses, as well as
crowned heads, collectors, and clients,” explained co-founder
Jean-Philippe Braud.
Among ten prestigious brands competing before an international jury, Chanel emerged as the standout, winning the Grand Prix de la Haute Joaillerie for its Sweater Prestige Necklace.
Crafted in 18K white gold and platinum and adorned with diamonds, onyx, and eleven emeralds totaling 37.18 carats, the piece pays tribute to Chanel’s sporting spirit. Its crossover neckline and supple tubular chains echo the movement and energy of a jogging cord — a blend of luxury and freedom.
