HAIR TO THE THRONE

Trust Chaumet to transform ladies into modern-day princesses with its dreamy tiaras and diadems distinguished by their lightness and delicacy. This Precious Foliage Laurel white gold and diamond tiara is a contemporary interpretation of countless designs by the historic maison for a long line of royalty, including Empress Joséphine. Rendered with a sense of movement, the asymmetrical diamond pavé branches of laurel leaves, which are a symbol of immortality and victory, appear to float in the air. This finesse is complemented by the house’s signature fil couteau (knife-edge thread) mounting of the leaves, while laurel buds are studded with solitaire diamonds. As part of the house’s tradition of making transformable jewels, a fully pavé bee perched on one side of the piece is detachable and can be worn as a brooch.
