The origin of the "Abeilles" collection

The archives of Chaumet are a treasure trove of inspiration that bridges past, present and future.

On the occasion of Promenade Bucolique, Chaumet continues to be inspired by naturalist motifs, with new one-of-a-kind or limited-edition pieces that complement its "Jardins" collections.

The bees of the new high jewellery collection, delicate, feminine and naturalist, sparkle in a vibrant palette of yellows, oranges and greens: the colours of honey and springtime gardens.

Contemporary pieces, ode to a garden

Adorned with mandarin and hessonite garnets, opal, tourmalines, peridots, topazes, yellow sapphires, green beryls, diamonds and golden pearls they come together in an intertwined pairing, alive with movement. Openwork wings, enhanced by a panoply of delicate details, flutter as light as lace in white gold set with diamonds and polished yellow gold.

The 13-piece collection includes two necklaces that can be transformed into brooches via an ingenious hidden mechanism, two rings and a bracelet in the Toi & Moi style, two signet rings, two pairs of sleeper earrings and three brooches. A bee poised upon the tourbillon of a glittering watch, mounted on white gold set with diamonds, sapphires, spessartite garnets and tourmalines, completes the collection.
