In 2024, Chanel unveils a groundbreaking approach to high jewellery, one that marries luxury with the vibrant spirit of movement and sports-inspired elegance.

Chanel Haute Joaillerie Sport – Graphic Line Necklace.

The “Haute Joaillerie Sport” collection, conceived by Patrice Leguéreau, Director of the Chanel Jewelry Creation Studio, breathes life into this vision, celebrating Chanel’s legacy of freedom and fluidity.

« For creating the ‘Sport’ High Jewelry collection, I was inspired by Chanel’s sporty style, which is such an integral part of the house’s history: the elegance of the line and the freedom of movement. »

Rooted in Gabrielle Chanel’s innovative spirit, this collection draws on the essence that first shaped her sporty chic aesthetic—a timeless blend of ease, elegance, and dynamic expression. The soul of “Haute Joaillerie Sport” resonates within each piece.

Gabrielle Chanel was a pioneer in bringing sporty sophistication to high fashion. In 1921, she established her “Sport” atelier, bringing a fresh vision emphasizing freedom of movement alongside refined style—a heritage that this collection honours.

The “Haute Joaillerie Sport” collection captures this core concept through the lens of high jewellery, offering a modern and luxurious homage to the allure of a woman in motion.

An Aesthetic in Motion

The collection’s aesthetic is a tribute to Chanel’s commitment to refined lines and rhythmic, anatomical design. Each piece is crafted to echo the body’s natural movement, much like Chanel’s original sportswear philosophy. The “Haute Joaillerie Sport”‘s inspiration is evident in this detailed craftsmanship.

The clean, smooth contours and the chevron motif evoke a sense of speed, while vibrant lines of colour inject an energetic flow throughout.

The pieces pay homage to Gabrielle Chanel’s signature motifs, with a sporty reinterpretation of symbols like the bold “5” in chronometer typography, the regal lion, and the star as a symbol of victory.

Adding a distinct new element, Chanel’s iconic signature appears for the first time as an openwork imprint—a nod to heritage reimagined for the modern, sophisticated athlete.

The collection embraces modularity and transformability, creating pieces that are both light to wear and versatile. Each design allows for freedom of movement and celebrates the elegance of adaptability, making them as effortless as they are lavish—key qualities of the “Haute Joaillerie Sport” collection.

Technical Savoir-Faire Reimagined

Embodying Chanel’s technical savoir-faire, this collection brings innovation to the forefront of haute joaillerie. Inspired by athletic equipment, visible connection systems and quick-release clasps transform from purely functional to central aesthetic features.

Karabiners are redesigned in the shape of Chanel’s iconic number “5,” while the swivel clasp from the celebrated 2.55 bag and an array of buckles and loops add unique structural elements.

Chanel’s timeless quilted motif appears here as openwork, reminiscent of high-performance fabrics, creating a mesh that marries strength and flexibility. A special “sport cord” tube chain, explicitly developed for this collection, epitomizes the collection’s seamless blend of elegance and performance, consistent with the haute joaillerie sport identity.

Chanel’s “Haute Joaillerie Sport” collection redefines haute joaillerie materials, combining classic precious metals with high-tech elements like lightweight, vibrantly coloured aluminium, resilient carbon fibre, and lacquer in shades that perfectly match each gemstone’s hue.

The Gemstone Showcase

The “Haute Joaillerie Sport” collection showcases some of Chanel’s most exquisite gemstones, revealing a world of colour and intensity.

A rare set of five Kashmir sapphires—unearthed after years of dedicated research—stands as the collection’s crown jewel, epitomizing Chanel’s commitment to excellence and rarity. These gemstones, along with striking two-tone and three-tone contrasts, create a vivid tableau that amplifies each piece’s ergonomic elegance.

Each gemstone is thoughtfully selected to enhance the jewels’ aesthetic and functional design. With their unmatched vibrancy and clarity, the collection’s stones celebrate beauty in movement, designed to captivate while fitting seamlessly into a life of elegance and motion, embodying haute joaillerie sport.


With an inspired fusion of audacity, creative freedom, technical mastery, and the finest gemstones, Chanel’s “Haute Joaillerie Sport” collection celebrates the beauty and spirit of sport. This pure, streamlined approach to high jewellery resonates deeply with Chanel’s legacy and reaffirms the brand’s timeless dedication to the elegance of movement.
