As traditional jewellers to the French Royal Court, Parisian haute joaillerie house Chaumet has always been inspired by the legendary life and times of Empress Joséphine, the once-beloved wife of Emperor Napoleon.

Emboldened by liberal movements of 18th century, Empress Joséphine cast off conventions and corsets, adopting the lightness of voiles, the theatricality of tulles and chiffons, layering them with pearl and diamond necklaces and tiaras.

In keeping with Empress Joséphine’s trailblazing legacy, Chaumet has reinvented its iconic Joséphine collection, playing with colours and materials to create a range that is classic yet contemporary. From amethysts and citrines to peridots, aquamarines and garnets, the gemstones combine in joyous compositions with diamonds and pearls.

To showcase the new collection, Chaumet has transformed its 1881 Heritage boutique into an intimate Parisian apartment where the very latest iconic pieces of the Joséphine collection are on display till 15 January 2019.
