Chaumet is pleased to announce the launch of its new 2026 Joséphine jewellery collection, inspired by Empress Joséphine. This collection reaffirms the legacy and style of this timeless muse, embodying confidence, elegance, and eternal femininity.
Empress Joséphine: A Timeless Source of Inspiration
Behind one of Chaumet’s most iconic collections is a woman—Empress Joséphine. Not only was she the wife of Napoleon, but she was also the Empress of France and played a highly influential role during her time. She championed freedom, led fashion, and exhibited an independent, avant-garde personality, always remaining true to her choices and tastes.
The collection named after her is designed for the contemporary ‘Joséphine’, women who showcase unique personalities and styles without compromise. Chaumet’s Joséphine collection perfectly reflects their strength and elegance.
Design Features of the New Jewellery Collection
The new Joséphine Aigrette Impériale earrings are crafted from platinum and diamonds, exuding a luxurious aura. The design is inspired by the pear-shaped gemstones on the famous Bourbon-Parma tiara from 1919, creating an optical illusion through the surrounding design of brilliant-cut diamonds.
Additionally, the Joséphine watch is made from rose gold and stainless steel, showcasing a blend of casual and elegant aesthetics. The white dial is surrounded by diamonds, and the faceted design evokes the craftsmanship of pear-shaped cuts, adding a touch of refinement.
The newly launched Joséphine Aigrette ring features a rose gold style, with a central 0.5-carat pear-shaped diamond, encouraging wearers to mix and match with other pieces from the collection to express their unique personality.
Chaumet continues its design aesthetic of mixing and asymmetry, introducing new pieces in rose gold and platinum for the Joséphine Aigrette pendant and earrings, along with designs that feature gold beads accentuating a V-shaped silhouette, creating a contrast in texture.
The new Joséphine Aigrette earrings are characterised by clean, sharp lines that outline their shape, showcasing a unique beauty that resonates with the style of the matching necklace, while the three-dimensional pavé craftsmanship makes the pieces stand out even more.
