Broadcaster Jang Young-ran is drawing attention for pairing everyday casual looks with glamorous fine jewelry. Even while casually enjoying a hamburger and fries, she wore a Chanel diamond ring in the 30-million-won range ($22,300) on her finger. The look let the accessory — rather than the outfit — do the talking.
Jang recently shared photos on her SNS showing her spending some relaxed time. In the pictures, she wore a casual outfit while holding a hamburger, but the ring on her finger stood out.
The ring belongs to Chanel's signature fine jewelry line, the Coco Crush collection. The piece Jang wore was identified as the small model crafted from 18K white gold and diamonds, reference J12093.
According to Chanel's official website, the recommended retail price in South Korea currently stands at 35.3 million won.
120 diamonds, 1.73 carats total: quilting etched onto a ring
The design is as elaborate as the price tag.
According to Chanel, the Coco Crush ring is set with 120 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 1.73 carats, crafted from 18K white gold. The diamonds densely cover the ring's surface in a style inspired by the snow-setting technique, so the sparkle of light catches the eye before the metal itself does.
What defines Coco Crush is Chanel's signature quilting motif.
Chanel reinterpreted the quilted pattern that has represented the house since 1955 into fine jewelry, launching the Coco Crush collection in 2015. The line has since expanded beyond rings to bracelets, earrings and necklaces, using materials ranging from white and yellow gold to Chanel's signature beige gold.
It is not a flat, direct imprint of the diamond-shaped quilting seen on Chanel's handbags. Chanel describes Coco Crush's design code as a curved, square-based pattern drawn from quilting, combined with cut details that run across the gold surface, soft edges and a rounded silhouette.
As a result, the basic version without diamonds looks relatively minimal, but when pave diamonds cover the surface — as in the model Jang wore — the same quilted pattern appears far more dazzling.
W35m ring with casual look: how to layer it like Jang
What stands out about Jang's styling is that she does not reserve high-end jewelry for special occasions alone.
She wears Coco Crush even in everyday moments, like eating a hamburger or dressing casually in a cap. She actively layers her accessories — stacking several rings on one hand or adding bracelets and watches.
Pave diamond rings typically make a strong statement even worn alone, but a simple band-shaped design like Coco Crush is relatively easy to stack with other rings. Chanel in fact promotes Coco Crush as a collection meant to be freely mixed, matched and layered with other pieces.
When wearing a striking ring like Jang's, matching metal tones to some degree makes it easier to create overall cohesion. Pairing it with white gold, platinum or silver-toned watches naturally complements the diamond's cool shine.
On the other hand, choosing large, ornate designs for every accessory can scatter the eye's focus. Designating one diamond ring as the centerpiece and mixing in thinner or less stone-heavy pieces for the rest allows for layering while still letting the main jewelry stand out.
Keeping the outfit simple is another approach. Adding one statement piece of jewelry to basic items like T-shirts, shirts, knits or denim can shift the overall mood of a look without appearing overdone. This is much like how Jang naturally mixes high-end jewelry into her relaxed everyday wardrobe.
Chanel bag quilting, on a finger: flagship line over a decade in the making
Coco Crush is a relatively recent collection, but its motif is deeply tied to Chanel's history.
Chanel has used quilting as a signature design element since 1955, and reinterpreted it into fine jewelry with the launch of Coco Crush in 2015. The collection has since expanded from plain gold rings to diamond-set pieces, bracelets and earrings.
Versions with diamonds densely set across the entire surface, like the piece Jang wore, show off both Coco Crush's distinctive quilted lines and diamond sparkle at once. Unlike a solitaire design that simply places one large stone at the center, the entire pattern of the ring itself becomes the decorative element.
As a piece of fine jewelry, it requires proper care. While the diamonds themselves are hard, the 18K gold surface can pick up everyday scratches, and stacking multiple rings together can cause friction between the metals. It is best to store each piece separately when not in use and avoid repeated exposure to strong impact or chemical products.
