Since it was founded in 1780, Maison Chaumet has drawn inspiration from the elements of nature, among which water plays a major role. However, this is the first time in its history that Chaumet has dedicated an entire High Jewellery collection to the sea. Named Ondes et Merveilles de Chaumet, it invites the wearer to travel, varying the horizons to better represent myriad evocations of the sea, from the caressing of the waves at the water’s edge to underwater treasure hunts, from boats calling in to the currents of the Gulf Stream.
Ondes et Merveilles de Chaumet is also an extension of Torsade de Chaumet, the Maison’s previous High Jewellery collection that weaves a veritable ode to life and movement. This theme also animates the Déferlante parure, capturing the wave in motion through interplays of volumes, heights and diamond cuts. Perfectly in tune with the lives of today’s women, Maison signatures such as head jewels, the toi et moi and the tiara are reinvented to be worn in contemporary ways.
Snorkelling in Hawar or yachting in Saint-Tropez, the 69 pieces in the Ondes et Merveilles de Chaumet collection take one to the four corners of the earth. The voyage is translated by the stones that color the collection with all the nuances of the seas.
