Chaumet is a French luxury jewelry and watchmaking house founded in 1780 by Marie-Étienne Nitot in Paris. The brand served as Napoleon’s official jeweler, creating his coronation crown and numerous imperial pieces.

Headquartered at 12 Place Vendôme since 1812, Chaumet is renowned for its tiara expertise — the house has created over 2,500 tiaras throughout its history, more than any other jeweler. The Joséphine collection pays tribute to this imperial heritage.

Part of the LVMH Group, Chaumet continues its tradition of poetic, nature-inspired jewelry that combines historical mastery with contemporary elegance.
