    down through generations of jewellers for almost 240 years.

Chaumet in 12 dates

Chaumet's story told through 12 key dates, a lucky unmber which pays tribute
to its iconic address of 12 Vendome, the Maison's historic setting.

Parisian jeweler, Chaumet has been crafting tiaras, high jewelery items and exceptional timepieces since 1780
and for 240 years, has embodied a style and elegance which have accompanied every era.

    • 1780

      For five centuries, Paris has been renowned for the quality and creativity of its artisan jewellers.

      It was in this tradition in the late 18th century that Marie-Etienne Nitot, made his mark.

      Firstly an apprentice, then an employee of Ange-Joseph Aubert,jeweller to Marie-Antoinette, he founded his own Maison that would later take the name of Chaumet.

    • 1804-1815

      Napoleon's taste for jewellery was predominantly political.
      He wanted to make France the centre for luxury and fashion design once again.

      After completing the commission for Napoleon's coronation sword and the papal tiara for Pope Pius VII,
      Marie-Etienne Nitot became the jeweller to the Imperial court and personal jeweller to the Empress Josephine.

    • 1820-1850

      Following the fall of the Empire, Nitot's successors, Jean-Baptiste and Jules Fossin then Valentin and Prosper Morel, dedicated themselves to romantic jewellery, renewing and increasing their sources of inspiration.

      The eclectic romantic period was inspired by various stylistic influences drawn from the past, but was predominantly marked by its praise of nature, depicted as realistically as possible.

    • 1879-1914

      The belle epoque, opulent and daring joseph Chaumet, who gave the Maison his name, was its director from 1885 to 1928.

      A visionary and undisputed master of the belle epoque, he was inspired by the re-enchantment of nature.

      Through his creativity, aigrettes and tiaras, as social symbols and fashion accessories, became a Chaumet speciality.

    • 1890-1920

      With developing transport links, Chaumet’s customers became more diverse.

      Indian princes, including the Maharajahs of Baroda and Indore, developed a taste for European pleasures and placed lavish commissions.

      As avid jewellery collectors, they would bring their stones to Place Vendome to have them set into light, flexible platinum settings.

    • 1910-1920

      The Maison also presents jewelry in geometric shapes for women of all ages.

      The platinum exterior makes the jewelry larger, lighter and more flexible.

      Vibrant 20th-century jewelry showcases the art of jewelery through strong contrasts of color and material, the use of black and white, the use of precious stones, and exotic beauty.

    • 1930

      From tradition to modernity

      During the 1930s, Chaumet continued its style while
      giving it a certain modernity that echoed fine Parisian
      taste, ever in search of novelty and the avant-garde.

    • 1950-1980

      The creation of new collections increases diversity at the Maison and excites customers.

      The Maison's great designers and jewelers, such as Pierre Sterle and Rene Morin, bring a new contemporary sensibility and further solidify Chaumet's unique style.

      In 1970, Chaumet introduced a new type of boutique called the Arcade.

    • 1977

      Chaumet unveiled a new signature collection: Liens,
      which celebrates attachments and bonds in all their forms.

    • 1999

      Chaumet joins the LVMH Group

      After belonging to the Investcorp investment group, the Maison was purchased by the LVMH Group.

    • 2010

      In 2010, the Maison launched the Josephine collection, inspired by Empress Josephine.

      The Maison's first customer and source of feminine inspiration.

      We convey women's beauty through jewelry that embodies Empress Josephine's aesthetic elements, including tiaras.

    • 2020

      Maison Chaumet is celebrating its 240th anniversary
      in style, by unveiling the new decor at its historic
      address of 12 Vendome.

      On the legendary Place Vendome, where it was
      the first jeweller to be established in 1812.

Muse of the maison

Josephine

Modern and free, Empress Josephine has inspired Chaumet’s
graceful, characterful creations for over two centuries.

The Maison’s first great client, Empress Joséphine has inspired Chaumet’s creations
for over two centuries, both in grace and character.
    • A tiara with a wheat ear motif. 1811.
    • A pair of pear-shaped pearl earrings featured in the portrait.
    • Empress Josephine's acrostic bracelet.
    • Intaglio Parur made of pearls and amber. 1805.

  • Ambassador of imperial France, Reinventing Fashion

    In order to refine her sovereign look, she brought back tiaras, emblems of power,
    as well as symbols of radiant femininity into fashion.
    Infatuated with a freedom that combines nature and happiness, she liberated herself
    from conventions and corsets, draping herself in airy veils, vaporous tulles and
    diaphanous muslins.
    Empress of hearts, Joséphine has inspired Napoléon an unparalleled passion,
    immortalized by numerous sentimental jewels created by the Maison.

At the origins of the chaumet legend

Pape tiare Chaumet

Milan, year 1805. As the Emperor and Empress prepare
to be crowned King and Queen of Italy, the destiny of the
Maison, not yet called Chaumet, crosses that of Josephine.

Entrusted with presenting the Pope with a sumptuous tiara commissioned
by Napoleon, Francois-Regnault Nitot, the Maison’s founder’s son, stopped off
in Milan to present this exceptional creation to the imperial couple.

Before this lavish present, Josephine marvels while Napoleon congratulates the craftsman.
Nitot's destiny had just changed.
He was elected Josephine's favourite jeweller.
Thenceforth, the ceremonial jewels commissioned from the Maison illuminated
Josephine's figure, such as the cameo of malachite or the intaglio ornaments.

      • Do it like Josephine​


        Echoing the inspirations of its muse, the Josephine collection has introduced
        the tiara and the aigrette to a repertoire of contemporary jewellery.

        With lightness and movement, each piece in the Josephine collection
        reflects Chaumet’s signature sophistication in detail.

        The use of the knife-edge technique and the pear-cut diamonds, used both as
        center stones and in trompe-l’œil settings, highlights each stone beautifully.
        They come to life, sublimated by delicate reinterpretations, for ever more dazzling creations.

    The 4Cs according to Chaumet

    Diamond

    Chaumet selects only the highest quality diamonds.

    The House of Chaumet offers a variety of cut shapes throughout its collection, including
    round brilliant, princess, pear, cushion, oval and emerald, all designed to highlight the stone.
    The pear is the House's signature cut and adorns delicate settings such as the Josephine collection.

    The word diamond comes from the Greek word "adamas" which means invincible, indestructible.
    The fruit of a star to the Hindus, a star fragment to the Greeks,
    and the tears of the gods to the Romans, diamonds are symbols of positive virtue.
    • COLOR
      In order to enhance its creations, Chaumet rigorously and exclusively selects extremely white (colourless) diamonds, with a colour range from D to G. The less colour a diamond has, the more valuable it is. The international classification established by the GIA has a colour-grading scale which begins at D (perfectly colourless diamond) and continues to Z.
    • CLARITY
      Chaumet diamonds do not have any inclusions visible to the naked eye.
      Thus the House only selects diamonds graded in the FL to VS (Very slightly included) categories. These very slight inclusions, when present in the diamond are recorded and mapped on the GIA diamond certificate.
    • CARAT WEIGHT
      Chaumet offers a wide range of diamonds of all weights, set in a great variety of settings.
      The universally-recognised unit of measurement for the weight of a diamond is the carat, which is 0.20 g. The weight, combined with the three other Cs of the GIA classification, determines a diamond’s value.
    • CUT
      A diamond’s cut corresponds to the balance of its proportions and angles.
      A diamond cut with the greatest precision works like a mirror it captures
      the light and reflects it through its facets, delivering the best brilliance and
      fire of the stone under the gaze of the person admiring it.
