The tiaras are back in style, but for Chaumet have been all along, so that to celebrate 230 years of the company founded in 1780 by Marie-Etienne Nitot, created Josephine, a line inspired by the diadem made for the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte , the first really important customer of the goldsmith that thanks to the Empress of the French became very famous throughout Europe. Five years ago, Chaumet launched the first engagement rings in platinum, with a full pavé diamonds band, and two side bands to support a diamond-cut pear setting upside down with the point positioned exactly at the center of the below stone. A perfectly symmetrical design with a vintage twist, but rigorous, which over time has been enriched with new details, colors and metals. In addition to the band elements, always full paved (an openwork motif to allow light to penetrate completely through the stones), the jewelry line also includes the intense colors of yellow diamonds, rubies, emeralds and blue, pink and purple sapphires non-heated (which is quite rare especially for those pink) in platinum setting, the dark green tourmaline and Raspberry rubellites set in pink gold. And Aigrette patterns for thin bracelets, rings and two tiaras. In almost all the pieces, however, the protagonist is a gem pear-shaped, mounted in exactly the opposite of the traditional solitaire with stones of the same shape, with dimensions ranging from 0.40 carat to 1 carat and for the most valuable pieces are get to 2 carats. In short, you can wear the tiara not only in your hair, but also on the finger. Lavinia Andorno
