The main difference between white gold and platinum lies in their composition.

950‰ platinum comprises 95% pure platinum. Naturally white, it does not oxidise over time and provides excellent support for gemstones.

18-carat white gold is an alloy comprising 75% gold. It is covered with a thin layer of rhodium, which gives it its characteristic whiteness and brilliance.

Over time and with wear, this rhodium plating may deteriorate and require maintenance.

Chaumet jewellery is designed at the Maison’s creative studio, in the heart of Paris. The pieces are then made in the High Jewellery workshop, located at 12 Vendôme, or in certified partner workshops.

These workshops are based in France and Italy. Each piece of jewellery undergoes rigorous checks carried out by the Maison’s experts to ensure it meets Chaumet’s aesthetic requirements and quality standards.

To ensure that your Chaumet jewellery retains its brilliance and beauty over time, regular care is essential. 

We recommend avoiding prolonged contact with water and chemicals and protecting it from impacts. Proper cleaning will also help to guarantee your jewellery's longevity. 

For a piece of jewellery made of gold or platinum: 

• Clean it regularly using a soft, dry cloth.  

For a piece of jewellery with stones: 

• Clean it with a little lukewarm water and soap, using a cloth or soft brush, then dry it carefully.  

For a piece of jewellery with pearls: 

• Use a mild soap applied with a damp cloth, then gently dry your jewellery.  

We also recommend that you take your jewellery to one of our Chaumet boutiques or authorised retailers once a year to take advantage of our complimentary cleaning service*. 

* This service is carried out in one of our boutiques or workshops. 

Please consult the list of our Chaumet boutiques and authorised retailers to find your nearest boutique.
