One of France’s most fabled luxury jewellery houses with a legacy that harks back to 1780, Chaumet pays tribute to modern day couples by putting them centre stage in its latest video, filmed in Paris, the city of love.

Directed by Matthew Brookes, the alluringly chic video features Chaumet’s 2017 Bridal Collection. With depictions of the young lovebirds against familiar Parisian landmarks of romance such as the Pont Alexandre III bridge and the Tuileries Garden, viewing Monet’s Nymphéas in the Orangerie Museum and sauntering through Place Vendôme, this video displays the timelessness of romance in a fast-paced, modern world.

Since 1780, Chaumet has been celebrating the same tender feelings, love and passion through its exquisite creations. The Liens wedding bands display the intimate ties between two souls, paying tribute to the beauty of a marriage like that between Napoleon and Josephine.

One-Of-A-Kind Diamonds

Joséphine Aigrette imperiale ring and tiara

 Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and Chaumet has only the best of them. The brand meticulously abides by its rigorous selection criteria that goes beyond the 4Cs of color, clarity, cut and carat to include balance. This fifth prerequisite ensures the diamonds in every Chaumet design are of perfect symmetry to render them a striking, singular glint. The luminescent diamonds are exceptionally white, as seen in the Joséphine collection, which ranges from classes D to F. Undoubtedly the star in the collection, the Joséphine Aigrette imperiale tiara captivates in a most royal fashion—with its structure and graceful design that surrounds a central Ceylon or Madagascar sapphire.
