Years before she became a fashion icon, Mademoiselle Chanel found inspiration in the most unexpected places. Legend has it that she first encountered the quilted pattern on the blankets of her lover’s horses. This simple yet elegant motif later became a cornerstone of her designs, gracing revolutionary creations like the 2.55 handbag.
Then in 2015, Chanel unveiled a fine jewellery collection that further iconised the quilted motif. The sharp lines of the pattern are softened by rounded shapes, creating a captivating interplay of curves and angles. Officially a staple at the maison, Coco Crush continues to evolve to cater to modern tastes and growing demand.

Mademoiselle Chanel once famously declared, “Red is the colour of life; I love red.” True to her spirit, the maison opens a vibrant new chapter 10 years after Coco Crush made its debut. Fiery red rubies add a touch of drama and personality, whether they adorn the Coco Necklace (SGD9850) or glimmer at the heart of the Coco Bracelet (SGD3500).
Chanel's Jewellery Creation Studio also introduces a new diamond-pavé setting especially for Coco Crush. This unique technique sets diamonds diagonally, in line with the quilted motif, thus illuminating the very incisions of the fine jewellery pieces.
