Chanel is a private company and a world leader in creating, developing, manufacturing and distributing luxury products. Founded by Gabrielle Chanel at the beginning of the last century, Chanel offers a broad range of high-end creations, including Ready-to-Wear, Leather Goods, Fashion Accessories, Eyewear, Fragrances, Makeup, Skincare, Jewelry and Watches. Chanel is also renowned for its Haute Couture collections, presented twice yearly in Paris, and for having acquired a large number of specialized suppliers, collectively known as the Metiers d'Art.

Chanel High Jewelry embodies the traditional French savoir-faire process. Each piece is made entirely by hand, from the initial design sketch by the Fine Jewelry Creation Studio to the construction and creation of the piece by the craftspeople in the atelier.

The "Haute Joaillerie Sport" collection celebrates the sporty style of Chanel. Body awareness and freedom of movement are at the heart of Gabrielle Chanel's creations. Her look was defined by its sporty allure from the outset, and as early as 1921 she created a "Sport" atelier within her Haute Couture house
By combining elegance and performance - through aesthetics, technique and an exceptional selection of gemstones - this collection celebrates for the first time in this field, the sporty style of Chanel, and magnifies this momentum that highlights the allure of a woman: movement.

A manifesto of absolute artistic creativity, Chanel High Jewelry is the fruit of a meeting of incomparable skills. From sketch to fabrication, the Creation Studio and the artisans in the workshops at Place Vend6me in Paris bring to life the most precious materials, meticulously sourced to achieve the highest aesthetic and quality standards. Combining audacity, unfettered creative freedom, technical mastery and outstanding gemstones, each collection is a celebration of Chanel iconic style.

Chanel is dedicated to ultimate luxury and to the highest level of craftsmanship. It is a brand whose core values remain historically grounded on exceptional creation. As such, Chanel promotes culture, art, creativity and "savoir- faire" throughout the world, and invests significantly in people, R&D, sustainable development and innovation. At the end of 2023 Chanel employed more than 36,500 people worldwide.
