Chaumet, London



We rarely cover brands such as Chaumet as they don't tend to produce very much visually. In fact its over a year since we included them on this site, and only because their Dubai store shone like a beacon in the Mall of Dubai. Anyway, this incredible organic structure composed of what looks like moths / wasps or hornets is quite beautifully produced. Unfortunately it was late at night when we recorded this so as there have been a few smash and grabs along Bond st. where this is situated it was clearly wise not to leave precious jewellery within easy reach of whatever criminals use to smash these kind of stores. But anyway, a refreshing view none-the-less.

Chaumet, Dubai Mall, Dubai


I have never noticed this brands store at home in London before as it just seems to just blend in this all of the jewellers along Bond St. However, this one screams to be looked at. Here in the Mall of Dubai, one could hardly not notice it with its beautifully lit frontage. Having been drawn in to take a closer look, it transpires that this is actually quite an old Parisian brand dating from 1780 founded by Marie-Etienne Nitot . It also has quite an interesting history of corruption too according to the information I can find out about it which led to bankruptcy during the mid 1980's. However, Chaumet was bought by LVMH in 1999 it became profitable again. Although it is very unlikely that I would ever buy anything here the merchandise is very beautiful as is the store itself and if only for that do go and take a look.
