Chaumet’s signature High Jewellery virtuosity
We have a saying, that High Jewellery is to jewellery what Haute Couture is to fashion: creating jewels, by hand and custom-made by craftsmen with exceptional skill, who use traditional techniques and tools. In our 12 Place Vendôme workshop in Paris, jewellers, setters, polishers and gem cutters have created these exceptional pieces for more than 240 years.
The High Jewellery atelier
Looking down from the Vendôme column, the statue of Napoléon keeps watch over the Maison’s High Jewellery workshop. This secret place is where jewellers, gem-setters and polishers work each day to bring Chaumet’s creations to life, thus perpetuating ancestral virtuosity under the attentive eye of the 13th head of the Maison’s workshop. This precious virtuosity, which can only be reproduced by hand, has been passed on from workshop head to workshop head since the House was established in 1780.
