In a breathtaking ode to the world around us, Chaumet unveils its latest High Jewellery collection: “Jewels by Nature”, a poetic celebration of flora, fauna, and the enduring craftsmanship that transforms nature’s finest muses into wearable masterpieces.

Honouring 245 years of savoir-faire, this extraordinary collection is composed of 54 one-of-a-kind creations divided into three lyrical chapters: Everlasting, Ephemeral, and Reviving. Each chapter narrates a different facet of the natural world, transforming plants, petals, creatures, and elements into rare and resplendent jewellery. From whispering ferns to fluttering dragonflies, the collection captures the spirit of nature in motion — eternal, fleeting, and reborn.

EVERLASTING

Nature in its most enduring form, featuring untamed flora that have stood the test of time.

Wild Rose:

Inspired by a 1922 archival tiara by Joseph Chaumet, this parure features rare yellow diamonds, natural pearls, and an 8.23-carat, Fancy Vivid Yellow, centrepiece that is both transformable and timeless.

Oat & Field Star:

Yellow gold oats sway beside white gold stars, set with over 1,300 hours of craftsmanship. Signature Chaumet lightness is reflected in ear cuffs and brooches with removable detailing and asymmetry.

Clover & Fern:

Tinted with three un-oiled Colombian Emeralds totalling 11.63 carats, Clover leaves bloom on a carpet of ferns to shape a sweeping necklace.

Botanical wonder meets gemstone brilliance. Featuring emeralds, diamonds, and a secret four-leaf motif for luck. Highlights include a 5.19-carat pear-shaped emerald and a transformable pendant-brooch duo.

EPHEMERAL

A tribute to fleeting natural beauty and the delicate artistry that captures it.

Carnation:

Elegantly painted in Chaumet Blue, this necklace is a mesh of sapphires, suggesting a dew-kissed field. A detachable 36.44-carat Ceylon sapphire drop glows with romantic intensity.

Sword-Lily:

Ravishing Mozambique rubies suspended in lace-like diamond vines. A 5.09-carat cushion-cut ruby sits on a double-band ring. The secret watch adds a horological marvel to this floral fantasy.

Sweetshrub:

A 44.23-carat spinel blooms at the centre of a pearl-rich necklace. With over 2,990 pearls, this homage to Chaumet’s pearl legacy includes butterfly brooches, coloured like watercolour paintings in motion.

REVIVING

Jewels that capture rebirth — from imperial inspirations to watery blossoms.

Magnolia Grandiflora:

Snow-set diamonds mimic blossoming magnolias. Leaves and buds transform into off-centre tiaras and brooches — one graced with a 2.02-carat pear-shaped diamond.

Fairy Iris:

Windswept irises come to life in Vietnamese spinels (24.36 carats) and pastel tones. A 6.10-carat spinel anchors the ring, while dragonfly brooches flit like tiny dancers among the blooms.

Dahlia:

Dynamic and dramatic, this set includes a 3.05-carat centrepiece and five detachable rosettes — worn as a tiara, brooch, or hair jewellery. The 1,300-hour necklace glows with movement and romance.

Water Lily: Inspired by Monet’s gardens, this watery dream features topazes and spinels sculpted into lacework. A 23.11-carat imperial topaz radiates sunlight; a 17.11-carat topaz ring blooms on the hand like a floating lily.

The Bee – Guardian of Nature

An iconic emblem of both Napoleon and Chaumet, the bee is honoured in seven dazzling brooches, gathering nectar-like gems across the collection. Essential to nature and regal in presence, the bee threads each chapter together a quiet, powerful symbol of life itself.

Jewels by Nature: A Collection Beyond Time

With Jewels by Nature, Chaumet redefines botanical and animal-inspired high jewellery, pushing artistic and technical boundaries in every piece. From transformability to poetic storytelling, this collection is a call to appreciate and protect nature’s fragility, interpreted through precious metals and gemstones.
