My jewelry box is as intimate and personal as my handbag. It holds memories, receipts (in value, not literally), collected treasures from vacations, and occasionally even keys—these are for lockets, not doors. But while my daily handbag may change, my jewelry is a permanent fixture: worn on repeat, every piece chosen for keeps.
There are aesthetic signatures I look for in jewelry: delicate diamonds (a sprinkle being my favorite), a sculptural shape, and a strong gold glint. These are the qualities that represent my personal style and punctuate my everyday uniform; they’re finishing touches I need to feel “ready” before leaving the house.
There’s little more satisfying than playing and layering with my jewelry in the morning, sometimes forgetting pieces, other times over-stacking them. It’s this spontaneous approach that inspired me to take stock of my collection: What’s missing, what’s staying, and what, wistfully, might be time to part with. Consider this my attempt at building the ultimate jewelry box capsule, anchored by six Chanel fine jewelry and watches icons.

Stackable Rings
I already mentioned I’m an over-stacker, but I love how the number of rings I wear often reflects how I’m feeling. On Mondays, I might leave the house wearing just one simple gold band—to feel low-key, and ease myself into the week. On a bold day, I love to layer and the Coco Crush family is perfectly fit for my stacking needs. Four is my magic number, to accommodate various sizes and finishes.
