Under the Andalusian skies of Marbella, Chaumet unveiled a collection that quite literally breathes life—Jewels by Nature, a high jewelry offering where diamonds dance with daisies and sapphires mimic the soft hue of petals at dawn. Presented at the enchanting villa El Bosque on June 18, the show was more than a gala—it was a moment of metamorphosis, transforming luxury into nature’s most poetic expression.

In this latest chapter of Chaumet’s legacy, the Maison turns to the plant kingdom, sculpting its spirit into 54 intricate creations divided into three themes: Everlasting, Ephemeral, and Reviving. With each, we see a distinct approach to nature—not just as a muse, but as an eternal rhythm that pulses through the heart of high jewelry.

Everlasting Flora: Time-Honored Strength in Bloom

This chapter celebrates nature's endurance—wild rose, clover, oat, fern, and starflower are reimagined not as fleeting embellishments but enduring emblems of strength. A standout piece? A transformable ring crafted with a 5.02-carat Fancy Vivid Yellow VS1 diamond, radiating like the sun from a wild rose’s core.

Another show-stopper is the field star necklace—a constellation of articulated yellow gold and 8.32 carats of yellow diamonds that shimmer with every breath. It took over 1,300 hours to bring it to life, and it shows—each link is a quiet tribute to nature’s tenacity.

Ephemeral Nature: Capturing Fleeting Beauty

Nature is never static, and in this second chapter, Chaumet chases the fleeting. Here, sword lilies, carnations, and sweet shrubs are caught in mid-bloom—fragile, fierce, and unforgettable. A transformable necklace set with cascading blue sapphires took over 1,500 hours to perfect. Its fluidity mirrors a flower caught in a gentle gust of wind.

The Arbre aux Anémones necklace, with its 44.23-carat cushion-cut spinel and glimmering freshwater pearls, is a masterstroke in soft power. Even the bee finds a home here—seven sculptural brooches pay homage to this tiny pollinator, their honeycomb patterns set with vibrant gems and pavé diamonds.

Reviving Nature: A Regal Return to Life

In its final act, Chaumet calls upon the spirit of Empress Joséphine herself. The magnolia, dahlia, iris, and water lily are sculpted with imperial elegance—an ode to regeneration and royal roots.

Among the collection’s crown jewels is the dahlia tiara, a flourish of gold and diamond petals with a removable rosette that whispers versatility. The iris parure dazzles in Vietnamese spinels totaling over 24 carats, while the magnolia necklace features a breathtaking 5.26-carat pear-shaped diamond, the centerpiece of a piece that took over 1,150 hours to complete.

Where Nature Meets Artistry

What sets Jewels by Nature apart isn’t just its beauty—it’s the technical artistry. Each piece was crafted in Chaumet’s historic workshop at 12 Place Vendôme, where centuries-old craftsmanship meets avant-garde innovation. The transformability of many designs—necklaces that become brooches, tiaras that morph into hairpieces—isn’t just a feat of design but a statement on the cyclical nature of life.

More Than Jewelry: A Sensory Spectacle

The runway presentation itself mirrored the collection’s immersive beauty. Celebrities and longtime friends of the Maison donned the pieces against the backdrop of Moorish architecture and Andalusian opulence. El Bosque became a living garden, a stage for the ever-evolving theater of nature and luxury.

From dazzling yellow diamonds to freshwater pearls with pink lustre, Chaumet’s ability to blend texture, tone, and time is unmatched. With Jewels by Nature, they don’t just mimic flora—they animate it.

As the seasons shift, Chaumet’s Jewels by Nature reminds us of the delicate dance between permanence and transformation. It is nature—not just adorned but interpreted, reimagined, revered. This isn’t jewelry for the sake of beauty; it’s jewelry for the sake of storytelling, rooted in life’s oldest and most poetic force.
