Chaumet Jewellery
Chaumet, The French House of Chaumet was founded in 1780 at the Rue St Honore Paris, by Marie- Etiene Nirot. He is credited with the creation of the tiara, which was popularised after he created a diamond set tiara for Empress Josephine to be worn at the coronation of Napolean.

The Art Deco period was a golden era for Chaumet, geometric forms, and pieces set with carved gem stones in strong colours bought worldwide acclaim, later in the 20th Century the company produced items with a bee motif a reference to the company’s Napoleonic connection
