Chaumet Necklaces

Chaumet Jewelry: An empire, a capital, a jewelry store

At the end of the 18th century, a young apprentice, Marie-Étienne Nitot, learned her trade from Marie-Antoinette's jeweler. He quickly became his closest collaborator, but soon founded his own house. Spectacular orders were sent to him: in addition to the tiara of Pope Pius VII, he created the sword used for Napoleon's coronation, thereby becoming the official jeweler of the Imperial Court. The Emperor intends to make Paris the center of fashion. But it is Joséphine, whose official supplier he is, who inspires his most beautiful pieces.

The jewelry house settled in the heart of the legendary Place Vendôme in 1812, when Nitot's son took over. Empires fall but the taste for splendor remains and Paris, under the restored monarchy, definitively establishes itself as the capital of luxury. It is under the aegis of Joseph Chaumet, director of the House from the end of the 19th century until the Belle Époque, that the House was baptized with the illustrious name that we know today, Chaumet. The tiara that the jeweler is particularly fond of makes Maison famous.
