Divines Chaumet : Diadémes De Légende

Founded in 1780 in Paris, Chaumet became the official jeweler of Empress Josephine, the wife of Napoleon I, thus acquiring a reputation throughout Europe. For more than two centuries, Chaumet has distinguished itself through the creation of tiaras that reflect its jewelling virtuosity.

Created for women who choose distinction, these exceptional jewels have always adorned the heads of today's queens, celebrities, artists and businesswomen. Rarely exhibited, the tiaras in this book are presented thematically - nature, heaven, free figures, powers - and accompanied by a text by Clare Phillips, curator of the jewelry collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and fashion journalist Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni.

Featuring more than 200 illustrations, including many photographs taken especially for this book, Divines Chaumet. Diadèmes de légende is a dazzling tribute to this eternal symbol of feminine majesty.
