Which are the ones that will become the new objects of your desire? Here’s a closer look at the captivating jewellery pieces from Chaumet’s Garden of Earthly Delights.
1. Pin Me Down
A brooch worn prominently on a lapel or shirt-front makes one of the best canvases for displaying jewels that are intricately composed with gold, coloured gemstones and diamonds. And the designers at Chaumet have played to this advantage with pieces that tell a whimsical story with precious materials. The latest takes the form of Les Espiègleries de Chaumet, a playful collection of pins that makes precious accessories out of gardening tools, such as a watering can, spade and Wellington boots. Elsewhere, in its signature collections, the well-loved Attrape-Moi line sees new additions in the form of bee-shaped brooches, while the Broche Œillet is a bedazzling, diamond-encrusted take on a familiar bloom—the carnation.
