Butterflies, dragonflies, and birds illustrate nature’s cycles through brilliant gemstones, gold, and expert craftsmanship. Chaumet doesn’t just replicate nature—it narrates it.

The Bee: A Symbol of Power and Preservation

Integral to Chaumet’s story, the bee returns as a central motif. Since Napoleon’s reign, it symbolized imperial might. 

 

Today, it represents vital pollination. Adorned in seven brooches, bees flit from diamond to sapphire, gathering metaphorical nectar from flower-inspired jewelry. 

 

Honeycomb patterns echo in claw-set designs, blending structure and freedom.

 

Eternal Chapter: Plants that Speak of Time

The Eternal series brings to life the strength of wildflowers and cultivated plants. The Wild Rose set reinterprets an archival tiara with brilliant yellow diamonds. 

 

It includes a modular necklace, a transformable ring, and earrings, each bursting with lifelike petals and botanical detail.

 

The Oat and Starflower set mimics wind-swept fields. With over 1,300 hours of work, its articulated necklace pairs golden oats with star-shaped white gold blossoms. 

 

An ear-climbing earring and versatile brooch accentuate Chaumet’s signature airiness and elegance.

 

Clover and Fern offer a green dream in diamond and emerald. Inspired by 19th-century designs, this set celebrates symbols of luck and life.

Ephemeral Beauty: A Moment Captured

Nature’s fleeting grace defines this chapter. From carnation to gladiolus, these blooms dazzle, then vanish—just like their inspiration. 

 

The blue carnation set stuns with gradient sapphires and a Ceylon sapphire centerpiece of 36.44 carats. Its collar molds to the body, flowing like petals in motion.

 

 Looped with diamond vines, it reimagines nature’s entanglement through elegant twists and delicate fil couteau settings.

 

The Calycanthus set showcases Chaumet’s mastery of pearls. A cushion-cut 44.23-carat spinel blooms at the center, surrounded by pink spinels and sapphires in watercolor gradation. 

 

The set includes a dual-butterfly brooch, where engraving and symmetry suggest motion and lightness.

Rebirth in Full Bloom

This final chapter radiates optimism. Magnolia, Iris, Dahlia, and Water Lily flourish through meticulous design. 

 

Magnolia returns in all-diamond form, including an asymmetric tiara and a drop-shaped centerpiece requiring over 1,100 hours of handwork.

 

The Iris set floats with pastel hues and poetic dragonflies. Violet and blue spinels bring softness, while flowing lines reflect a windswept meadow.

 

Dahlia evokes vitality. Rosette motifs, detachable from tiara to necklace, mirror the Maison’s 1850s floral legacy.
