#CHANELCruise collections have always channelled sun-drenched escapes and effortless glamour. The cruise 2025/2026 season continues this spirit with the relaxed elegance of hotel life and the pleasure of dressing up at any hour. This mood translates through its costume jewellery, a suite of chic accoutrements that work far beyond a holiday wardrobe.
An ode to the ease of summer with a touch of cinematic allure, the Chanel line-up gleams with nautical touches, floral details and sparkle. Pearls and charms, garden blooms and solar-tinged whimsy appear throughout the designs. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches and rings all echo the collection’s breezy, escapist spirit.

Firstly, get charmed by the chic metal and resin designs. The highlight is a chunky gold-and-multicolour necklace strung with oversized charms, from the iconic double C to circular and square letters that spell out C-O-C-O. Exuding bold elegance with a vintage touch, it not only layers easily with other necklaces, but also pairs beautifully with the matching pendant earrings.

There are pearls galore as well, including a metal-and-glass pearl necklace trimmed with diamantes. Its sun-kissed silhouette comes through a mix of gold, multicolour, pearly white and crystal accents. Playful and whimsical yet sophisticated, it elevates any outfit with spirited, jewel-bright charm.
If arm candy is your thing, look to the assortment of laced cuffs that echo Chanel’s iconic leather-interlaced chain. Giving a subtle nod to the season’s sartorial stripes and nautical codes, the cuff features gold metal and resin anchored by the double C. It also comes wrapped in leather tones of brown, white or black for added versatility.
Lastly, a standout chain belt pays homage to chic days by the sea. It boasts delightful charms such as boats, binoculars, a bucket of camellias and a sweet gelato. Cool yet glamorous, it echoes the cruise 2025/2026 show at Villa d’Este on Lake Como. Wear it beyond traditional styling for a finishing touch that is quirky, summery and unmistakably Chanel.
