Chaumet is renowned for its refined jewelry pieces. For more than two centuries, Chaumet has been one of the most prestigious jewelry houses in the world. Founded in 1780 in Paris, Chaumet is now known for its refined jewelry creations. Elegant and timeless, they reflect the spirit of French haute jewelry. Thus, the jeweler creates jewelry and watch creations at the heart of Place Vendôme that reflect his exceptional savoir-faire and bear witness to Parisian taste. It is worth noting that one of the most distinctive characteristics of the Chaumet house is its connection to history. Since its inception, the house has created jewelry for the greatest personalities of the French royal family. These include Napoleon I, Joséphine de Beauharnais, and the Duchess of Berry. Moreover, these jewels adorned with precious stones and exceptional diamonds have helped forge Chaumet’s reputation as an exceptional jewelry house. It should be noted that this house is known for having realized many exceptional projects. Today, the Chaumet house continues to create jewelry with timeless elegance and exceptional quality. The house is particularly known for its creations such as Links or Bee My Love. In short, its jewelry is often characterized by delicate patterns that evoke the elegance and beauty of nature, which the house has always celebrated.
A Journey Through Nature thus extends Chaumet's naturalist narrative by moving it towards a more sensory approach. Nature is no longer just a source of inspiration; it becomes an experience, shaped by the artisans' gestures and revealed by the brilliance of the gems.
At Chaumet, the Bee collection continues its subtle dialogue between nature and abstraction. The new creations take up the codes that have made the line’s signature (the bee, the honeycomb, geometry) and project them into a more sculptural writing.
With Envol, Chaumet offers Haute Joaillerie that does not dictate an attitude but suggests several. The wings are not just symbols inherited from the Empire or the Belle Époque; they become an open language.
In late January 2026, Paris once again experienced that special silence that accompanies the great moments of Haute Joaillerie. Far from the spectacular commotion of fashion, the plush salons of Place Vendôme and the discreet addresses welcomed collectors, aesthetes and loyalists of the great houses.
The Al Thani Collection continues its dialogue with the history of prestige. After exploring medieval and Renaissance art, it concludes its trilogy with Dynastic Jewels: Power, Prestige and Passion (1700-1950).
At Chaumet, the wheat ear is more than just a motif; it embodies a continuous thread that links imperial heritage with contemporary creations. Joséphine de Beauharnais and Marie-Louise d'Autriche had already chosen this sign of fertility and prosperity to adorn their jewelry.
Through the windows of 12 Vendôme, a landscape awakens. At Chaumet, jewels become flowers, leaves and wings, as if nature had found refuge in gold and precious stones. The new collection of haute joaillerie, Jewels by Nature, tells this intimate encounter between the living world and the art of the workshop.
In a narrative informed by the archives of the Chaumet house, Laurence Cossé explores the turbulent trajectory of the jewels, objects of light and power, at the heart of the female lives of history.
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.
Chaumet’s latest capsule collection, Bamboo, offers a contemporary take on a motif little explored in the Maison’s universe. Rooted in a history spanning more than 240 years, the collection rigorously revisits an Asian symbol with multiple connotations, establishing a tangible link between jewelry refinement and plant forms.
Bee My Love, an icon. More seductive than ever, the Chaumet collection unveils new pieces. A spotlight on ultra-desirable creations. A spectacular sparkle. A magnetic allure. A queen-like headwear. This is the promise of this new necklace.
The first tableau, dedicated to music, consists of three precious settings. Emeralds, sapphires and diamonds are intertwined to form a dazzling composition. The sapphires and diamonds, in duo, resonate in perfect harmony, while the diamonds, solo, shine with a captivating melody. Each piece embodies the movement art dear to Chaumet, with a fluidity and elegance that evoke the depth of the emblematic blue of the Maison.
Every year at the beginning of summer, Paris transforms into a dazzling showcase, hosting the Haute Jewelry Presentation Week alongside the Fashion Week. This eagerly awaited period sees the greatest jewelers from Place Vendôme and international houses compete with virtuosity to present their creations.
For the first time in the history of the Games, every Olympic and Paralympic medal at the Paris 2024 Games is imprinted with a historic and precious symbol: a piece of metal from the Eiffel Tower.
With agility, Air de Chaumet draws its inspiration from the ethereal grace of birds, from the delicate beat of their wings to the majestic nuptial parade. The jewelry of this collection unfolds around the face, like a creative breath in motion.
The book offers a rare opportunity to discover the backstage of one of the most prestigious high-end jewelry houses. It presents a collection of unique creations, many of which are revealed for the first time.
