Hortensia collection, the garden of delights

As a tribute to Empress Josephine, a radiant woman who was passionate about the beauty of flowers and the magic of gardens, the Hortensia collection lends profusion of color and generosity of form to both jewelry and high jewelry pieces.

A flower with infinite variety that provides a sumptuous source of inspiration for the Maison with petals that are round or elongated, forming delicate clusters or perfect spheres, lavishly colourful and blossoming in couture-like geometry.

From corolla to stamen, Chaumet explores each facet of the flower with boldly graphic lines to offer an unbridled interpretation and three colour variations of precious stones carrying a symbolism their own.

Pure diamonds and subtly coloured stones reveal exquisitely romantic jewels: an exuberant ring, a trembling brooch, a delicate secret watch or a long necklace that transforms into a choker and bracelet.

Gentle feelings

Radiant, glamorous or sensual, bouquets of imaginary hydrangeas burst into vibrant colour combinations of red on pink gold. Rubies, garnets and red tourmalines conjure up a floral garland necklace, a surprising watch and two rings adorned with a central stone bordered by a lace of open-work petals.

Daring feelings

Blue sapphire, tanzanite and sculpted lapis lazuli on white gold turn the flower into an articulated bracelet of the finest lace, aerial earrings and rings that play with asymmetry, a watch featuring a flowershaped tourbillon or a necklace adorned with precious stones that seem to float in thin air…
