The story of Chaumet, the iconic jeweler of the Place Vendôme, began in 1780. For more than two centuries, it has continually embodied creativity and excellence.

History
The founder, Marie-Etienne Nitot, was Emperor Napoleon I’s official jeweler and created tiaras and formal jewelry for Empress Josephine and, later, Empress Marie-Louise. The savoir-faire has been passed down from generation to generation, and is a testimony to the creativity and excellence that define the House.
It all started during the 18th century, with the love story between Napoléon and Joséphine, and ever since Chaumet has always placed happiness at the heart of its creations.This year, the Maison Chaumet decided to dedicate a new intimate space to the celebration of love and passion.
