  Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld goes for high collar look with an emerald


July 6, 2012


Karl Lagerfeld, the iconic German fashion designer who gained fame as head designer and creative director for the fashion house Chanel, is renowned in the business for the high-collar look. His latest version, which was included in a jewelry exhibition celebrating the Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Year, features as its centerpiece a 23.33-ct. synthetic emerald and 40 cts. of pave-set black diamonds.

The emerald collar was created by Lagerfeld in collaboration with Net-a-Porter, the online luxury global luxury fashion brand website, which recently was sold by its founder, fashion journalist Natalie Massenet, to the Richemont group, which has in its stable a host of other top-of-the-line luxury brands, including Cartier and Montblanc.

The collar, it was reported, would retail for between $37,500 and $40,000, and would be sold with a sketch signed by Lagerfeld, as well as a donation to CLIC Sargent, which is a U.K. organization benefitting young cancer patients.

While the emerald is spectacular, it should be noted that it was not mined from the ground. Reliable sources reports that it is a synthetic stone, created in a hydrothermal process.
