On the set of Atonement, Keira Knightley was forced to break the clasp on a £20,000 gold necklace on loan from Chanel. After 45 minutes of trying to remove the necklace, the star had her assistants phone Chanel's headquarters in Paris for permission to break the jammed clasp. Later, the necklace was returned to the company for repair.

According to the Sunday Mail, Chanel loaned more than £100,000 worth of jewlery—including the onyx and white gold necklace—for the film. A spokesperson for Chanel, Hortense Izac, explained the importance of jewelry in the period drama to the newspaper. Izac mentions a scene involving a small star Knightley wears in her hair and the significance of her losing it.
