With the Year of the Horse approaching, Chaumet marks the occasion with symbolism, craftsmanship and heartfelt blessings. For the Lunar New Year, the Parisian high jewellery maison fuses French elegance with Eastern poetic symbolism. Across three iconic jewellery collections, Chaumet delivers wishes of prosperity, joy and harmony for the year ahead.
Firstly, the Bee de Chaumet range sees the maison’s iconic honeycomb gaining fresh cultural resonance. The geometric precision of its hexagonal forms recalls traditional Chinese window lattices. These patterns evoke plum blossoms traced in graceful silhouette. Crafted in mirror-polished gold, pendants and bracelets glow like early spring light filtering through ornate screens.

Then follows the Joséphine collection, defined by its signature aigrette V-shape. Its upward-sweeping lines echo the soaring angles of classical Chinese rooflines, symbols of warmth and reunion. Pear-cut stones, so cherished by Empress Joséphine, bring a regal grace to rings and bracelets. Inspired by tiaras, the designs honour milestones past while instilling confidence for what lies ahead.

Finally, completing the trio is Liens, where Chaumet’s crossed-links motif aligns naturally with the Chinese knot. This timeless symbol represents enduring bonds between family and friends. Seen in pieces such as the Jeux de Liens pendant in rose gold with diamonds, the interwoven lines capture connection and shared kinship.
Radiant and rich with meaning, Chaumet’s iconic collections carry luck, joy and heartfelt wishes into the new year. Each piece becomes a talisman, celebrating togetherness while welcoming a bright and harmonious beginning.
