"Chanel has once again leveling up their idea of shopping in style with the unveiling of its first-ever watches and fine jewelry flagship in the United States. Marked as a momentous milestone for the luxury fashion house, the event kicked off with an exclusive cocktail reception, allowing guests to view Peter Marino’s architectural designs, reminiscent of Coco Chanel’s address at 18 Place Vendôme in Paris. Inside, the gallery room served as an oasis decorated with sculptures and illuminated by the “Dream Catcher” chandeliers by Goossens.

Brand ambassadors Amandla Stenberg, Sadie Sink, and Whitney Peak, alongside actresses Carey Mulligan, America Ferrera, Michelle Williams, and Kerry Washington, lent their star power for the evening, placing themselves at the forefront of the unforgettable night.

THE ETERNAL N°5 NECKLACE
Crafted in 18K white gold*, the necklace is a study in contrasts. With the fluidity of a couture ribbon, the form of a 5 encircles a 0.54-carat brilliant-cut diamond. A boldly geometric 20.09-carat emerald-cut DFL Type IIa diamond recalls the octagonal shape of Place Vendôme and the stopper of the N°5 fragrance bottle. A ring paved in diamonds accompanies this transformable creation. Their central elements are interchangeable, and the necklace can be worn with or without one.

For the first time ever, the CHANEL N°5 legend, a century in the making, meets the artistry of the Fine Jewelry Creation Studio. Crafted from more than 700 diamonds, this exceptional necklace embodies the iconic codes of N°5: the silhouette of the bottle, the number-shaped clasp and the pear-cut diamonds depicting droplets of perfume. At the heart of the design, like the label of the bottle, sits a 55.55-carat emerald-cut D/FLAWLESS Type IIa diamond whose shape and proportions echo the N°5 fragrance stopper.
