From its creation in 1780 in Paris, Chaumet’s history is intertwined with that of France. It quickly became the official jeweler of Empress Joséphine.
It should be noted that the Maison’s Haute Joaillerie know-how has been passed down from generation to generation for almost 240 years. Created in the heart of Place Vendôme, the jewelry and watch creations reflect these exceptional know-hows and testify to Parisian taste. Thus, one is marvelled by the diamonds and precious stones, of unparalleled purity and brilliance. These exceptional gems are then cut into brilliant, cushion, oval, emerald, or pear-shaped shapes, a signature of the Maison. Then, jewelers, engravers, polishers, and engravers bring the jewel to life.
