 Blending wonders generously provided by nature and jewellery made by artisans, Jewels by Nature, CHAUMET’s new High Jewellery collection, pays tribute to treasures of flora and fauna. Offering a vision of the living world as a precious gift to be appreciated, preserved and passed on, it tells a tale of nature connected in all its forms: by turns everlasting, ephemeral and reviving, all punctuated by winged figures such as the bee. Inspired by the noblest species alike, each of the fifty-four pieces in the collection reflect the harmonious and respectful link Chaumet has perpetuated with nature since its founding 245 years ago. The First chapter opens with everlasting flora whose eternally renewed life cycle provides a continued source of inspiration. Untamed varieties, such as wild rose, clover and fern, along with the field star which lives among oats. Prolific plants with distinct Identities. The Second Chapter pays tribute to ephemeral nature. Like the Savoir-Faire the Maison is committed to protecting this precious yet threatened slice of nature inspires delicate parures. In The Third Chapter, four species treasured by Empress Joséphine – magnolia, iris, dahlia and water lily – celebrate resurgent nature, resurfacing at far ends of the earth or reappearing with the seasons. Captured from life, blue tits and dragonflies are portrayed by the High Jewellery in full flight or alighting on the parures.  |
