Chanel to Receive Gem Award for High Jewelry Excellence
The luxury brand is being honored for excellence in high jewelry design in its “Haute Joaillerie Sport” collection.

The award honors a brand for excellence in high jewelry design and is given to a company for a collection or series of collections that increased consumer demand for high jewelry.
The 2025 award recognizes Chanel for its “Haute Joaillerie Sport” collection, introduced earlier this year.
Since Gabrielle Chanel founded the high-end fashion and jewelry house at the beginning of the 20th century, it has become a leader in creating, developing, manufacturing, and distributing luxury products.
JA said that Chanel high jewelry embodies the traditional French savoir faire.
Each of the brand’s pieces is made entirely by hand, from the initial sketch by the Fine Jewelry Creation Studio to the construction and creation of the piece by the craftspeople in Chanel’s atelier.

“The Gem Awards Committee is thrilled to present Chanel with the Gem Award for High Jewelry Excellence,” said JA’s Director of PR and Events Amanda Gizzi.
“The ‘Haute Joaillerie Sport’ collection showcased the artistic creativity and the craftsmanship that Chanel is famous for, while simultaneously providing fresh designs that have consumers excited about the high jewelry category.”
The Gem Award for High Jewelry Excellence will be presented along with awards in the categories of Lifetime Achievement, Jewelry Design, Media Excellence, and Retail Innovation at the Gem Awards gala.
As previously announced, New England jeweler John Green will receive the Lifetime Achievement award.
The winners in the categories of Jewelry Design, Media Excellence, and Retail Innovation will be revealed live at the gala.
The 2025 Gem Awards gala is set to take place March 14 at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City.
