Chaumet

THE BOOK

Richard Burbridge

Début xxe siècle

Eric Maillet Vogue China

The High Jewellery savoir-faire of the Maison has been passed down through generations of jewellers for almost 240 years. Crafted at the very heart of the place Vendôme, the jewellery and watchmaking creations reflect these exceptional skills and pay tribute to the Parisian style.

Throught the most beautiful editorial photographs of Chaumet in the press (Harper’s Bazaar, L’Officiel, Vogue …), and most significant commissioned photos (Henry Clarke, Guy Bourdin, Mario Testino, Mario Sorrenti, Richard Burbridge, Karim Sadli), this lavish book offers a retrospective immersion into French luxury jewellery from the sixties to present-day.
