Chaumet’s Laurier Precious Jewelery collection enhances the Maison’s symbol, the laurel leaf ♦
In Greek-Roman mythology, laurel was a sacred plant. It symbolized wisdom and glory: a laurel wreath encircled the winners’ foreheads in the Pythian or Delphic Games and constituted the greatest honor for a poet, who became a graduate poet. The leaf was also the symbol loved by Josephine, Napoleon’s wife, who not by chance adopted the laurel as a symbol of victory and power. In modern jewelry, however, the bay leaves indicate the Parisian Maison Chaumet.
The French brand reiterates it with the Laurier Precious Jewelery collection, which celebrates the plant that recurs in the Maison’s creations.
In this case, the laurel turns into jewelry made of white gold and diamonds. The laurel leaves in the collection of Chaumet envelop the jewel with an impression of lightness, augmented by the technique of mises à jour on the back. In addition to the jewelery there is also a secret watch in 18 carat white gold, paved castone with 112 brilliant cut diamonds, decorated with a cover decorated with paved laurel paved with 268 brilliant cut diamonds.
