Necklaces Chaumet

At the end of the eighteenth century, a young apprentice, Marie-Etienne Nitot, learns his trade from Marie-Antoinette's jeweler. He quickly became his closest collaborator, but soon founded his own firm. He received spectacular orders: in addition to the tiara of Pope Pius VII, he created the sword used for the coronation of Napoleon, thus becoming the official jeweler of the imperial court. The Emperor intended to make Paris the center of fashion. But it was Josephine, whose regular supplier he was, who inspired his most beautiful pieces. The jewelry house moved to the heart of the mythical Place Vendôme in 1812, when Nitot's son took over. Empires fall but the taste for splendor remains and Paris, under the restored monarchy, definitively becomes the capital of luxury. It was under the aegis of Joseph Chaumet, director of the House from the end of the nineteenth century until the Belle Epoque, that the House was christened with the illustrious name that we know today, Chaumet. The tiara that the jeweler is particularly fond of, makes the House famous.

The Chaumet signature

The Chaumet style is characterized by special themes and is constantly renewed by various sources of inspiration. Exalted, enchanted, triumphant, nature unfolds around your neck in necklaces as sumptuous as it is. But Chaumet jewelry is also inspired by the trends and currents that influence the city of Paris. Bold and futuristic, the artistic line opens up to each new era and takes on a garçonne look, introduces geometric shapes, mixes colors and materials, gives in to exoticism... Echoing modernity, the House of Chaumet is always looking for novelties. However, it never forgets the good Parisian taste that characterizes it and jealously perpetuates its style, recognizable among all, because it is at the service of the woman that, since Josephine, it never ceases to sublimate.

The woman at Chaumet

The first, the inspiration, the muse: the immense Josephine... If Napoleon, from the top of the Vendôme column, seems to watch over the House he helped launch, it is the empress who has always set the tone. It is she who sets the tone for the model that will sublimate the modern woman that you are. Close, intimate, familiar, she even gave her name to one of the most prestigious collections of the house.
