A dazzling immersion in the universe of Chaumet, the Parisian high-jewelry Maison founded in 1780 and known for its exceptional creations, crafted at the very heart of the place Vendôme.
The Spirit of Chaumet offers an unparalleled journey into the world of the exclusive Parisian high-jewelry house, showcasing its key creations, stylistic principles, and multifaceted history going back more than 240 years.
