Chaumet

Chaumet is one of the oldest Parisian jewellers. It was orginally founded in 1780 by Marie-Étienne Nitot; he was the jeweller to the imperial court and personal jeweller to Empress Joséphine. It was only in 1885 that Joseph Chaumet became director and gave his name to the house. During its long history the jewellery of Chaumet has always been of outstanding quality.
