Bee de Chaumet brooch

Rose gold, black opal, and diamonds 086005

Bee brooch in rose gold set with one oval-cut black opal of 9.15 carats and brilliant-cut diamonds.

Chaumet enriches its color palette with new, vibrant and unexpected shades, bringing unprecedented diversity to its creations. True to its spirit, the Maison celebrates nature in its own way, capturing the moment: bees caught in mid-flight, with faithfully realistic proportions. Each piece reflects meticulous craftsmanship, where organic volumes, natural movements, and brushed gold highlight the sophistication of the collection.

Inseparable from the history of the Maison since the imperial bee, the bee recalls the major symbol of Emperor Napoleon 1st and his close relationship with Marie-Etienne Nitot. Associated with the French Empire, the bee embodies immortality and resurrection. This insect has been one of Chaumet's favorite subjects since the 1900s, and inspired the iconic Bee de Chaumet collection.
