Chaumet
About
Chaumet is distinguished by its mastery of tiara-making, a tradition that dates to the Napoleonic era. The house has created approximately 2,500 tiaras throughout its history, more than any other jeweler, earning it a reputation as the foremost tiara specialist among Parisian high jewelry houses. The Josephine collection, named after Empress Josephine de Beauharnais, features a pear-shaped motif that has become one of the brand's most recognizable design elements.
Core jewelry collections include Josephine (tiara-inspired designs with pear-shaped motifs), Liens (interlocking links symbolizing bonds), Bee My Love (honeycomb geometric pattern), and Jeux de Liens (playful interpretations of the link motif). The house presents annual high jewelry collections and maintains a heritage collection of historical pieces in its museum space at 12 Place Vendome.
Chaumet also produces luxury watches, including jewelry timepieces and the Josephine and Liens watch collections. The brand's watchmaking combines Swiss movements with Parisian jewelry design.
Retail prices for fine jewelry generally start at approximately $1,000 for entry-level Bee My Love pieces and extend into the millions for high jewelry and exceptional tiaras. Chaumet operates boutiques in major cities worldwide and sells through its own e-commerce platform.
