CHAUMET, founded in 1780, is a prestigious Parisian jewelry house with a rich history, now part of the global luxury conglomerate LVMH. With its deep historical heritage and cultural foundation, CHAUMET is both a master in the art world and a perfect representative of elegant style. Through its impeccable craftsmanship, the brand has led innovations in the jewelry field, exploring various aesthetic styles while maintaining its allure for over two and a half centuries.
In 2017, the Palace Museum, in collaboration with the Louvre and other top-tier museums and collectors worldwide, hosted the “Art of Jewelry since the 18th Century” exhibition in Beijing, sharing CHAUMET’s unique charm and extraordinary journey with the world.
As summer heat rises, a delightful surprise arrives right on schedule. CHAUMET, the Parisian high jewelry maison, once again interprets its classic design with extraordinary imagination, unveiling new creations in the Bee My Love collection. These captivating new pieces skillfully embody CHAUMET’s signature naturalist inspiration, concentrating beauty and strength in the classic “honeycomb” design, bringing a unique surprise.
A Heritage of Poetry and Philosophy
CHAUMET’s founder, Marie-Étienne Nitot, once declared, “I am a naturalist jeweler,” establishing the importance of naturalist creation in CHAUMET’s history. The bee, a symbolic motif of the French Empire, is not only closely tied to French history but also serves as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for CHAUMET.
The maison continues to explore and inherit the “bee” aesthetic, distilling from it the geometric beauty of hexagonal shapes and the alluring color of honey. Through jewelry art, CHAUMET showcases natural beauty, harmoniously blending gold and diamonds with exquisite craftsmanship, creating the eternal charm of the Bee My Love collection.
The meticulously crafted individual honeycomb cells extend and connect, creating a highly abstract style that seems to form a beehive through the passage of time. CHAUMET expresses the metaphorical theme of “belonging” through its exquisite jewelry language, comforting and inspiring hearts with outstanding artistic beauty.
Nest-building and settling down are instincts shared by both nature’s creatures and humans. The Bee My Love collection, with its perfectly simple hexagonal honeycomb, symbolizes a self-contained and reassuring habitat, creating an energetic talisman that intimately accompanies us and provides an anchor for our souls.
The tight, stable, and elegantly timeless honeycomb shape also celebrates the beauty and strength of “cohesion,” vividly interpreting how different individuals share emotions and beliefs based on love and understanding in a common field where boundaries merge.
Timeless Style, Dazzling New Creations
The new CHAUMET Bee My Love collection curtain necklace showcases incomparable natural grace and effortless elegance with its astonishingly powerful radiance, captivating charm, and noble royal elegance.
This ingenious necklace combines extraordinary ingenuity with superior craftsmanship, representing a tour de force from the CHAUMET workshop. Skilled artisans hand-assemble and repeatedly polish each component, spending at least 400 hours to create this timeless piece that combines architectural aesthetics with natural poetry.
The entire piece is crafted with astonishing skill, elevating CHAUMET’s natural theme to a new level and adding more grace and style for the wearer. Made from 695 mirror-polished “honeycomb” units totaling 410 grams of gold, perfectly combined with 43.73 carats of diamonds, each honeycomb pattern is flexibly connected through hand-assembled articulation techniques.
This creates an extremely flexible and supple necklace that fits closely to the wearer’s neck curve like a second skin, resembling a magnificent melody played around the neck. 390 brilliant-cut diamonds are arranged and set one by one, creating a charming gradient effect; 10 Taille Impératrice cut diamonds adorn it, radiating a captivating style with their shimmering brilliance.
Like a budding flower or a vibrant sunflower, CHAUMET’s new Bee My Love collection pieces blend ingenious creativity with modern aesthetics, presenting an unexpected innovative interpretation of the honeycomb with a highly recognizable naturalistic aesthetic.
The mirror-polished honeycomb elements alternate with brilliant-cut diamonds, and with the addition of delicate openwork techniques, the diamonds appear to float in the air, their fire dancing with particular vivacity. The delicate design of circular surrounds and connected dots also evokes the scene of bees buzzing among flowers collecting nectar, exuding exquisite grace.
The new creations reinterpret CHAUMET’s classic “Toi et Moi” ring with renewed inspiration, with rounded lines highlighting the elegant and independent feminine quality. The collection includes necklaces, rings, bracelets, and a convertible earring that can be worn as a single stud, a complete earring, or in an asymmetrical mix-and-match style.

The CHAUMET Bee My Love collection’s new bee necklace once again interprets the iconic motif of the French Empire – the bee. Historically, Napoleon Bonaparte regarded the bee as a lucky totem and imbued it with imperial symbolism.
Moreover, this symbol also narrates the unique story of CHAUMET’s close connection with French history. The new creation ingeniously combines the classic bee with a minimalist honeycomb design. The asymmetrical construction, coupled with carefully carved lifelike details, presents a vivid three-dimensional and dynamic posture, as if a lightweight dancing bee has alighted nearby.
The bee’s body and wings are crafted in gold, adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds, emitting a captivating radiance. Through vivid symbolic language and exquisite details, it narrates the profound connotations and rich emotions behind the piece.
Exquisite Craftsmanship, Meticulous Carving
Combining the ultimate expression of various jewelry crafting techniques, the CHAUMET Bee My Love collection fully demonstrates the glory of CHAUMET’s generational artistry, like a fruitful dialogue between top-tier jewelry craftsmanship and the exquisite skills of jewelry artisans. The mirror-polished gold echoes CHAUMET’s proud goldsmith tradition.
Each honeycomb pattern is individually polished and meticulously finished using high-precision tools, maximizing the sharp contours and bright texture of the honeycomb pattern. The precisely shaped geometric metal pieces connect perfectly, cleverly capturing and concentrating light refraction, reflecting a perfectly enchanting radiant glow.
The 6-facet setting technique, echoing the hexagonal honeycomb shape, makes the metal base nearly invisible, as if the diamonds are secreted from within the honeycomb, making the jewelry piece appear more brilliant and ethereally light.
CHAUMET’s proprietary “Taille Impératrice” (Empress Cut) technique, through its ingenious hexagonal cutting form, allows diamonds to radiate exceptional brilliance. The 88 facets, created one by one through hand-cutting, not only capture every ray of light exquisitely but also cause it to refract layer by layer, creating a multiplied sparkling effect.
Stylish and Intriguing, Expressing True Self
The CHAUMET Bee My Love collection pieces combine universal aesthetics with ingenuity, bringing infinite possibilities to style. Multiple styles, diverse designs, and different materials interlock layer by layer, allowing for stacking and mix-and-match.
Each unique combination helps wearers fully express their personal style. Whether for daily commutes or important occasions, these pieces can be appropriately matched, making every facet of one’s natural self shine even brighter.
