How to choose and wear your engagement ring
The heart of Chaumet beats with a love story: that of the eternally modern couple Joséphine and Napoléon, symbols of French romance. This unique heritage, alive since 1780, sparks every engagement ring crafted by the Maison. Each diamond ring, inspired by the world of High Jewellery, is designed to highlight the exceptional gems selected by the Maison.
An engagement ring is a significant purchase for brides- and grooms-to-be. Chaumet offers a wide range of rings to suit all tastes. The Maison’s experts draw on all their rigour and savoir-faire to craft exceptionally elegant designs. Here is some guidance from the Maison on how to choose, then wear, your engagement ring.
Choosing your Chaumet engagement ring
Choosing an engagement ring can be a tricky process if you don’t have a clear idea of what you’re looking for. The same applies if you’re looking for a ring for your partner.
The first step is to find out as much as possible about their preferred style, colour, precious metals and gemstones. Brilliant-cut or pear-shaped diamonds, rose gold, platinum, sapphires, rubies, emeralds… There are so many options to choose from!
Chaumet’s diamond cuts
The Pear
The pear cut, a personal favourite of Empress Josephine, has become one of Chaumet’s signatures, both elegant and daring.
The Brilliant
The brilliant cut, with its 58 facets, is the most luminous of the classic cuts, offering breathtaking brilliance.
The Cushion
With its unique brilliance, this cut echoes the legendary French crown jewel: the Regent Diamond.
Designs ranging from timeless to daring
From Joséphine to Bee de Chaumet and Liens, each collection embodies the Parisian elegance dear to the Maison. Diamonds and exceptional gemstones, gold and platinum, timeless designs and daring silhouettes all showcase unique craftsmanship.
Why choose a Chaumet engagement ring?
Chaumet played a significant role in the history of Parisian jewellery, creating its first pieces for Napoléon and Joséphine. Love is celebrated at the heart of its emblematic collections like Bee de Chaumet, Joséphine and Liens.
Each engagement ring has a corresponding wedding band if you’d like to match your jewellery.
Bee de Chaumet
Combining graphic honeycomb with vibrant light, Bee de Chaumet celebrates nature with creations of infinite radiance.
Joséphine
Inspired by Empress Joséphine, this collection of solitaires and wedding bands reinterprets the tiara with a modern elegance.
Liens
A contemporary reinterpretation of sentimental jewellery, the Liens collection celebrates the immeasurable bond between people.
Chaumet diamonds: ethical excellence
Chaumet diamonds undergo a rigorous selection process based on the 4Cs established by the GIA: colour, clarity, cut and carat weight. In addition to these, the Maison has its own fifth criterion: harmony. Each diamond is chosen for its symmetry, its brilliance and the emotion it evokes.
Chaumet is committed to ethical practices. Raw materials and especially the diamonds used by the Maison come from sources certified by the Kimberley Process. Chaumet has also been a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council since 2005. Every diamond weighing more than 0.30 carats comes with a certificate from the Gemological Institute of America. A unique number corresponding to this is engraved on the stone, serving as proof of the diamond’s authenticity and uniqueness.
