The daring one Bamboo of Chaumet, a balance between the sky and the earth.
The latest capsule collection from Chaumet, Bamboo, offers a contemporary reading of a little-explored motif 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 vegetal forms.

Each piece, whether in the form of a necklace, brooch, or ring, demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship where the assembly of metals is combined with unique stone choices. The graphic composition of the plastron necklace, for example, relies on a V-shaped structure and a play of contrasts between the engraved yellow gold and the white gold. The use of techniques such as enamel or grain-file setting, applied by specialized artisans, illustrates a respectful approach to traditional craftsmanship.
The capsule also features a harmonious selection of gemstones. The black opal from Australia, paired with tsavorites and carefully cut garnets, contributes to a colorful choreography that reinvents nature with sobriety. The presence of brooches with modifiable shapes and rings adopting varied configurations reflects a desire to offer multiple readings of the same motif, inviting a personal experience of wearing it.
By paying tribute to Asian culture, Bamboo enriches the repertoire of Chaumet Without denying its traditions. The Maison’s work thus unfolds in a contemporary approach that is also rooted in a lasting history, where every artisanal gesture contributes to a legacy that is renewed over time.
