Description
A testament to Parisian haute joaillerie, this Chaumet Joséphine Aigrette necklace captures the imperial elegance that defined an era. Born from the storied romance between Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Joséphine, the Aigrette — meaning “feather plume”— was her signature motif, transforming rigid court jewelry into something graceful and alive.
Here, a pear-shaped diamond of approximately 1.50 carats commands attention like a dewdrop caught in morning light, while 180 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 7.30 carats cascade in a V-shaped configuration that echoes the botanical grace Joséphine so adored.
Crafted in 18K white gold within the ateliers of 12 Place Vendôme — where Chaumet has resided since 1812 — this necklace balances imperial grandeur with contemporary wearability. Every diamond meets Chaumet’s exacting G VS+ standard, ensuring the brilliance that made the Maison Napoleon’s jeweler of choice remains undiminished.
