On a sumptuous necklace involving over 1,500 hours of work, three flowers, freed from their stems, rest along the neckline. Enhanced by the fil couteau technique, which seems to almost make the metal disappear, seven remarkable Mozambique rubies totalling 14.03 carats look like they’re levitating.

From Pope Pius VII’s tiara set with 2,990 pearls to the Arbre aux anémones necklace offering multiple portés, Chaumet distinguishes itself by the creativity of its pearl jewellery. Nearly 1,000 hours are needed to bring this necklace to life, revealing 10mm-diameter freshwater pearls possess a magnificent pink lustre. In its centre blooms a flower that can be worn as a brooch, hosting an exceptional gem at its heart: a 44.23-carat cushion-cut spinel of a deep pink hue shot through with a hint of violet.

Foraging for nectar among colourful precious stones, the bee is celebrated in seven brooches featuring the honeycomb motif, extending to the claws.
