Founded in 1780 and jeweller to Napoléon, Chaumet is one of the grand old houses of the Place Vendôme. Its modern signature, Liens — French for "bonds" or "ties" — turns the idea of connection into jewellery: an interlacing link or crossed-ribbon motif, often punctuated with diamonds. Elegant and instantly Chaumet, it is the line most people come to sell.
What is Liens?
The motif is an interlacing link / crossed "x" or ribbon that joins the piece together, usually in 18ct yellow, white or rose gold with diamond accents at the crossing. The family includes Liens Évidence, Jeux de Liens, Liens Séduction and the bridal lines, across rings, bracelets, bangles, necklaces and earrings. Genuine Chaumet is signed, numbered and hallmarked.
