Don’t miss a gem
In its latest high jewellery trilogy, Jewels by Nature, Chaumet presents a composed and technically brilliant interpretation of natural forms. Across three chapters — Everlasting, Ephemeral, and Reviving — the maison draws on its heritage as a naturalist jeweller to present flora not as fantasy, but as form, structure, and movement.
Everlasting opens the trilogy with a focus on nature’s quiet power — plants that endure, silhouettes that hold, and symbols of resilience. This chapter draws on classic Chaumet codes like oak leaves, wild roses, clover and wheat, reinterpreted with a sense of composure and structural elegance.
Key motifs:
Wheat and oat stalks, shaped in yellow and white gold, appearing to sway mid-air, with yellow diamonds pavé-set throughout.
Wild rose, sculpted petal by petal in white gold, centring around remarkable yellow diamonds inspired by an archival tiara.
Clover and fern motifs, designed as hair ornaments, brooches and transformable jewels, with subtle green accents.
A meadow-inspired necklace with a cushion-cut yellow diamond at its centre required over 1,300 hours of work. Tiara references are deliberate — a nod to Chaumet’s Napoleonic roots — but every line is refined for modern wear.
Movement remains essential: most pieces transform or layer. The aesthetic is architectural but soft, built to sit lightly on the skin and follow the natural rhythm of the body.. It’s less about symbolism, more about precision.

Ephemeral is a meditation on transience. Inspired by blossoms mid-fall and the moment before colour fades, the chapter introduces softness, fluidity and tonal restraint. Key flowers include carnation, sword lily and sweetshrub — each rendered in luminous stones and weightless construction.
Key motifs:
Carnation, interpreted in Chaumet’s signature blue, with a transformable necklace centred on a detachable 36.44-carat Ceylon sapphire, realised over 1,500 hours.
Sword lily, featuring Mozambique rubies in a vine-like setting, suspended with fil couteau wirework that allows the rubies to float.
Sweetshrub, a parure in watercolour dégradé with a 44.23-carat cushion-cut spinel at its heart, framed by sapphires, pearls and over 1,000 hours of work.
Bee brooches, miniature tributes to pollination, formed in honeycomb motifs across a series of seven stylised designs.
Asymmetry is intentional. Petals curve without pattern, and colour fades in and out like breath. The chapter leans into tension and delicacy, favouring open space over weight. These are pieces that suggest movement without demanding it—jewellery designed to linger, briefly.. Ephemeral doesn't aim for permanence—it wants to express a moment.

Reviving introduces colour and energy. Inspired by spring growth and new shoots, this chapter returns to structure, but with more motion and a brighter palette. It draws on flora favoured by Empress Joséphine and includes new botanical subjects rendered with precision: magnolia, tulip, pansy, arum, iris and more.
Key motifs:
Magnolia, with a 5.26-carat pear-shaped diamond drop, crafted over 1,150 hours.
Tulip, centred on a 10.70-carat red spinel and mandarin garnets, transformable into earrings or a brooch.
Pansy and arum parures, the latter featuring a 10-carat yellow sapphire framed by a sculpted calyx in white gold.
Fairy Iris, paired with dragonflies and fil couteau wirework that turns metal into silk-like threads.
Movement is central to the chapter’s design language. Each piece flows along the line of the body, engineered to adapt — modular, wearable, and never static.
It’s the most optimistic of the three chapters. Reviving brings renewal into sharp, colour-driven focus, and draws the trilogy to a vibrant close.. Reviving has a sense of forward momentum that brings the trilogy to a clean close.

Chaumet’s Jewels by Nature doesn’t romanticise nature — it studies it. This trilogy is precise, sculptural, and quietly assured. Each chapter functions independently, but together they offer a controlled and contemporary perspective on botanical design. In a moment where narrative dominates jewellery presentation, this is a welcome return to form, technique, and restraint.
