Chaumet, an empire within an empire 


Marie-Etienne Nitot learns his trade from Marie-Antoinette's jeweler, and founds his own company in 1780. Noticed under the Empire, he made the sword used for Napoleon's coronation. He became the official jeweler of the imperial court and served the Emperor's ambition to make Paris the center of fashion, and adorned the Empress Josephine, his muse, with his most beautiful pieces. In 1812, the jeweler moved under the protective column of the Place Vendôme, at number 12. The empire collapsed but the jewelry store kept its imperial air. At the end of the nineteenth century, Joseph Chaumet gave it his name to crown its glory.
