Born under the sign of the Leo, Gabrielle Chanel found the lion particularly inspiring. The majestic animal symbolises beauty and strength and reminded her greatly of Venice, one of her favourite cities and its emblem, the Lion of Saint Mark. It was there she found solace after the death of her lover, Boy Capel who had given her his unconditional love.

The term 'Sous Le Signe Du Lion,' literally means 'Under the sign of Leo' in French, and fans of Chanel will be excited to know that the dazzling 'Sous Le Signe Du Lion' high jewellery collection will make its way to our sunny shores this April 2015. Expect to see exquisite and stunning jewellery pieces in platinum, white gold and diamonds, like the “Lion Royal” set, the first from the collection to be made by the Chanel high jewellery atelier at 18th Place Vendome.

The collection will be available at the Chanel Fine Jewellery boutique in Singapore from April to June 2015.
