Chaumet Paris


A venerable Origin:


With 224 years of prestigious status in the world, jewelry making, is the legend of Chaumet one of unprecedented success and glamor. Founded in 1780 by Marie-Etienne Nitot in Paris, Chaumet has since shown a passionate devotion and vision for spectacular jewelry creations. Utilizing his excellent craftsmanship in jewelry designs, expertise in the guinea ruling and charismatic salesmanship, Nitot soon won fame and success as court jeweler to Napoleon. Besides designing the imperial sword and all those things, Bejeweled, gave the French emperor Nitot the task to create all the tiara for the empresses Josephine and Marie-Louise.



Rector - An epitome of dignity:



The original drawings of Tiara Nitot during the Empire had a reputation for tasteful reproductions of the more extravagant style of the day. Most of them were large, elegant and majestic classical, while some were worn so low, touching eyebrows. Richly decorated with pearls, diamonds, precious gems, and decorated with motifs derived from Greek and Roman art, Chaumet works were all to stay, and timeless. Of laurel tiara worn by Empress Josephine at the coronation in 1804, for example has been repeated many times over the last two centuries. Crucial, as statements of rank, Chaumet's Tiara quickly became a symbol of majestic enthronement, raising the imperial family to the utmost dignity of royalty.



Transition to Romanticism:



The collapse of Napoleon's regime is not deter the demand for formal jewelry, but instead, new styles Tiara evolved. Under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Fossin, Nitot's successor, Chaumet's Tiara designs turned away from the strict classicism of the Empire style, and took on a naive style, elegantly decorated of emeralds, rubies, diamonds, enamel and other precious stones. Adopting the naturalistic theme in different types of flowers, branches with leaves, grains, bouquets, ribbons and arabesques, Chaumet's design is primarily intended to seek something new, something different, revealing a spirit of "groom a joli". During this one time when several European powers compete in the splendor of their empires, Chaumet's Tiara reigned as an emblem of preeminence in its possession - and only - the best class.



Stepping up to the brave new world:



During the second half of the nineteenth century, a new layer of rich business class climbed with bloom of industries worldwide. Private wealth was rising, as it was the desire to display it, thus creating a demand for large tiara and jewelry, which gave every woman to look like an empress. During this period, the emperor also actively supported French participation in international exhibitions, which showed a selection of French-made jewels of her head, attracted huge crowds and won the most awards. It is an era in which the upper class foreigners visited Paris, only to discover Chaumet tiara's and large jewelry that meet the stringent requirements grandeur fused with striking modernity. Chaumet's name was since converted into the international arena, the Tiara for European aristocrats and wealthy customers across the Atlantic.

They were worn in all occasions from small parties, venues, restaurants, to the more formal it for weddings and court balls. Chaumet's Tiara in this period primarily used platinum - a new kind of setting there, which quickly became popular in jewelry - which enabled the option to be invisible, thin, giving full value for the brilliance of the stone. A further refinement was the use of colored stones cut to measure the settings. In the form of patterns, Chaumet also incorporated new aesthetic sources, such as flowering cherry branches of Japanese prints. New techniques and designs made such a difference that the quantities of old family tiara was placed on Chaumet to changes in the "contemporary style".


Time to Ride the Waves of luxury:

But it was never stopped making tiara, with opportunities to create masterpieces of royal members as Queen Elizabeth II and the late King Hassan of Morocco, and more recently, for Hollywood stars and top celebrities from around the world.
