In a blaze of light and refinement, CHAUMET unveils Bamboo, an Haute Joaillerie capsule collection that pays homage to Asia and sublimates plant life in its noblest expression. With this new ode to nature, the Parisian Maison perpetuates a tradition that goes back more than 240 years: that of elegant naturalism, deeply rooted in the history of French luxury.
A graphic, organic aesthetic, a tribute to Asian cultures
Bamboo, a discreet element in Chaumet’s stylistic repertoire until now, makes a spectacular entrance with this ten-piece set. A symbol of integrity in China, prosperity in Japan, and resilience in the universal imagination, bamboo inspires a collection that blends symbolic strength and artisanal virtuosity.
Worked in bold contrasts ofhand-engraved yellow gold and polished white gold, it soars with suppleness and verticality in pure, powerful lines. Plants become jewels, and craftsmanship becomes sculpture in motion.
The highlights of the Bamboo collection
The bib necklace: majesty at the hollow of the neck
The centerpiece of the collection, this plunging “V” necklace combines opulence and lightness. At its heart is a 13.19-carat Australian black opal with electric blue and apple green reflections, framed by tsavorite garnets and diamonds. A masterpiece of suppleness and precision, worthy of the finest savoir-faire of Place Vendôme.
Metamorphosis brooches
Three modular brooches push back the boundaries of Haute Joaillerie: one becomes a hair ornament, another splits into an asymmetrical pair, while the last fascinates with its diamond bands of rare flexibility.
Sculptural rings
Each ring is a sculpture in its own right. It features :
- a ring topped with a 7.24-carat cushion-cut tsavorite garnet,
- a reinterpretation of the “toi et moi” motif, between fiery opal and intense garnet,
- a long, fluid, slender ring that hugs the hand with sensuality.
The tiara: the apotheosis of the collection
The ultimate tribute to plant nobility, this hand-engraved yellow and white gold tiara embodies the lightness and movement of bamboo. An exceptional piece, a fusion of contemporary abstraction and imperial heritage.
A new chapter for the “naturalist jeweler”.
Chaumet has been weaving an intimate dialogue with nature since the time of Empress Josephine.
Bamboo is not just a collection: it’s a declaration of love to the Earth, a celebration of life, growth and flexibility – both in form and symbol.
In 2025, this precious capsule stands out as a manifesto for sustainable, inspired and resolutely contemporary jewelry, where each gem tells a story, and each sheet of metal pays homage to the beauty of the natural world.
