Roaring back

Gabrielle Chanel was a Leo, born on Aug. 19, 1883, and often incorporated lions in her fashion collections and the decor of her homes. Chanel’s L’Esprit du Lion high-jewellery line references that history in contemporary pieces.
L’Esprit du Lion BO Brilliant earrings in 18-karat yellow and white gold, Collier Intuitive necklace in 18-karat gold, Bague Dazzling ring in 18-karat gold, iridescent lace dress, all price on request at Chanel.
Fine features

Chaumet’s claim to fame might be its tiaras (the company has created more than 2,000 of the bands since 1780) but its less showy pieces share an equally regal spirit. In the Liens Séduction collection, diamond and gold elements daintily interlink.
Chaumet Liens Séduction 18-karat white gold and diamonds drop earrings, $7,490, 18-karat white gold lariat pendant with diamonds, $6,520 at Birks. Ellery dress, price on request through ellery.com.
