In the new Les Perles de Chanel collection (www.chanel.com), pearls are presented in elaborate, one-of-a-kind pieces that incorporate gold-and-diamond camellias, stars, feathers, and other signature themes of the fashion house. The jewelry, which ranges in price from $50,000 to $3 million, features pearls of various colors, shapes, and sizes, and recalls the layering of rich textures and materials that distinguishes Chanel fashions. An 18-karat-white-gold necklace (shown here with matching earrings) combines Indonesian cultured pearls with 294 white and yellow diamonds.
