From high jewellery to sentimental jewel
From within the restrained architecture of a Japanese garden, trimmed in its lush, verdant embroidery, Chaumet plucks a flower: the hydrangea. The jeweller finds lavish inspiration in its endless varieties, with round or tapered petals joyfully forming a delicate cluster or a perfect sphere, frolicking with colour
and blooming in an astonishing geometric spectrum, now echoed in the world of couture.
Here is jewellery-making excellence expressed with the same floral grammar: from corolla to pistil, Chaumet explores all the flower's intricacies, playing upon ten petal variations.
Nature has been tamed: stylised, openworked, sculpted, capturing motion at once taut and supreme delicate. The hydrangea as seen by Chaumet aligns with the House's naturalistic style to become a collection of sentimental jewels.
HORTENSIA - FINE JEWELLERY
Born of the excellence of Chaumet High Jewellery, six new powder-pink designs express blossoming emotion. Like a thread of diamonds, the flower's stem is traced into a tiara and a necklace, the curve of a bracelet, ring or earrings. Suspended from this pattern, sculpted opal cabochons, pink tourmalines and sapphires blossom in asymmetrical bouquets that hide an impeccably assembled composition. Behind these floral clusters lies a subtle setting strategy – including a champagne setting creating a veritable pavé of precious bubbles – of solid or openwork petals and surprising variations of matte and polished gold.
