Maison Chaumet is a French jewelry house that was founded in Paris in 1780 by Marie-Etienne Nitot. Over the centuries, Chaumet has become known for its exquisite jewelry designs and has created pieces for some of the most famous and influential figures in history.

One of Chaumet’s most famous clients was the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Nitot became Napoleon’s official jeweler in 1802, and he created a number of iconic pieces for the emperor, including the famous coronation crown, which was made of gold and set with diamonds.

Chaumet also created jewelry for many other members of European royalty, i was a fan of the company’s tiaras and brooches. In addition to working with royalty, Chaumet has also designed pieces for celebrities and socialites

One of Chaumet’s most distinctive design elements is its use of natural motifs, such as flowers, leaves, and vines. These organic shapes are often incorporated into the company’s jewelry designs, along with diamonds, pearls, and other precious gems.

The company is also known for its historic archives, which include thousands of design sketches, photographs, and other documents that offer a unique glimpse into the history of jewelry design.

Ruby Diamond Wreath brooch Diadem Empress Josephine of France | Imperial Jewels History Royaltiaras Rubytiaras historictiaras napoleonic tiaras neoclassical movement, the laurel became a popular motif in head ornaments in the early nineteenth century. Like victorious warriors in Greek and Roman times, Napoleon chose it for his imperial crown as a symbol of his power, while Joséphine also adopted it to display her sovereign status, wearing a laurel-leaf tiara for the coronation. Nitot appropriated the classical symbol in turn, creating harmoniously symmetrical arrangements that were characteristic of the imperial jewels. The tiara was the centerpiece of the sumptuous ceremonial parures supplied by the jeweler, the crown that drew the eye, focused and raised people's gazes, and transfigured and deified the wearer. In this parure, depicted with precision by Regnault, the empress's tiara features two large laurel branches studded with diamonds that joined above the forehead, over a floral band set with splendid emeralds, a type of naturalistic composition typical of the Empire style
