A jewel always tells more than it shows. Behind a stone, a shape or a signature, an era, a culture, a skill, and sometimes the gesture of a creator whose mark transcends time are revealed.
The section Jewellery d’Esprit Joaillerie explores the creation of jewelry in all its forms: Haute Joaillerie, vintage and signature jewelry, contemporary creations, precious stones and colored stones. It is equally interested in the houses and creators as well as the techniques, inspirations and stories that give meaning to the pieces.

Renaissance of Gold and Brilliance, jewelry in light at the Bemberg Foundation. In the Renaissance, every piece of jewelry is a sign. It signifies alliance, rank, and faith.

When Gabrielle Chanel imagined her only and unique collection of high jewelry in 1932, she drew the outlines of it with motifs dear to her universe: the comet, the sun, the ribbon and the feather. The latter, light and mobile, embodies with grace the spirit of freedom that she infuses into her creations. Since then, the feather has traversed the decades, reinterpreted according to the inspirations of the CHANEL Studio de Création Joaillerie.
She emerges, in mid-flight, with her wings spread under the brilliance of the sun. Radiant bee, she dances between gold and diamond, caught in the moment in a jewel with a thousand reflections. Bee by Chaumet does not freeze the movement; she accompanies it.
For Esprit Joaillerie, the jewel holds a central place in the eye. From haute joaillerie to contemporary creations, from historical pieces to the most current collections, each jewel carries a story of material, creation, and transmission.
However, platinum, silver, diamonds, colored stones: behind each piece lies a choice. The choice of a gem, chosen for its beauty, rarity, or character. The choice of a design, a gesture, and a technique that give it its definitive form: crimping, sizing, and composition.
From the great houses of Place Vendôme to creators who are redefining the codes of contemporary jewelry, this section explores the signatures, styles, and stones that have shaped the history of jewelry. A selection where gemology meets creation, and where each piece of jewelry becomes the starting point of a narrative.
