Chaumet unveils new Bamboo capsule collection

Chaumet has announced the launch of Bamboo, its newest high jewellery creative capsule collection.

This capsule features a total of 10 pieces, with designs inspired by the maison’s heritage.

The collection features the use of articulation alongside the combination of bead bright and cut-down settings.

Each of the 13 Chaumet workshop managers have reinterpreted the emblematic theme of nature in their own way.

One of the pieces combines articulation with goldsmithing to infuse 13.19-carat black Australian opals, with an original combination of colours from both bright blue to apple green.

The three rings featured within the new high jewellery collection play on the same association of gems and colours.

While the first is topped with a 7.24-carat cushion-cut tsavorite garnet, the second revisits the toi et moi motif in an “unexpected way”, where the garnet’s intensity is reflected in the opal fires.

The collection also includes three brooches, one of which can be transformed into a hair ornament.

The second is made up of two distinct elements designed to be worn as a pair, while the third features highly flexible diamond bands.

Chaumet stated: “Celebrating the majestic beauty of bamboo. The maison has set itself apart as a “naturalist jeweller” since its beginnings. Fusing the wonders provided by nature with the savoir-faire of supremely skilled jewellers, in the process celebrating and preserving the preciousness of the natural world.”
