Chaumet

Chaumet is a French luxury jewelry house based in Paris, renowned for high jewelry, tiaras, and watches. It is part of LVMH's Watches & Jewelry division.

Chaumet traces its origins to a Parisian workshop established in 1780 by the Nitot family. The house gained prestige in the Napoleonic era, when Napoleon I named it jeweler to the Emperor and the imperial court. In the 19th century, Chaumet established its long-standing presence on Place Vendôme, and that address remains the brand’s flagship today.

Designs from Chaumet span neoclassical and romantic styles, often featuring motifs drawn from nature and empire symbolism. The bee motif, associated with the imperial era, appears across many pieces. Notable lines include Liens, Joséphine, and Bee My Love, as well as tiaras for formal occasions and a range of watches.

Chaumet operates internationally with boutiques in major cities worldwide and maintains the signature Parisian artisan heritage. In the late 1990s the house was acquired by LVMH and integrated into its Watches & Jewelry division, enabling broader global distribution while preserving its history and craftsmanship.
