Chaumet Celebrates Nature in a New High Jewelry Collection

With A Journey through Nature, its new High Jewelry collection, Chaumet continues a dialogue with the natural world that has shaped the Maison for nearly 250 years. Rooted in the vision of founder Marie-Étienne Nitot, who described himself as a "naturalist jeweler," the collection offers a fresh interpretation of the botanical world, inspired as much by the feelings nature evokes as by its forms and colors. 

Designed as a sensory journey, the collection features 46 High Jewelry creations presented across three chapters, each inspired by a different family of botanical scents and sensations—from the freshness of green leaves to the warmth of spices and aromatic plants. Tea, verbena, mint, vanilla, star anise, cinnamon, coffee, pepper and saffron all inspire creations that explore light, color and movement through exceptional gemstones and Chaumet's signature craftsmanship. 

Each set combines the Maison's naturalistic approach with a more abstract interpretation of the memories and emotions associated with these plants. Openwork motifs, V-shaped lines, transformable jewels and subtle optical effects are paired with exceptional gemstones from around the world, selected as much for their character as for their rarity. 

The collection also revisits one of Chaumet's most enduring emblems: the bee. A symbol of the Maison since the First French Empire, it appears here in twenty-five new brooches, where bees seem to hover around vividly colored gemstones. Together, they offer a contemporary take on one of Chaumet's signature motifs while reaffirming the Maison's enduring inspiration from the natural world.
