Flower Garden

In Chaumet’s Storied 12 Place Vendome Workshop, The Artisans Imagined A Magnificent Garden To Put Together A Unique 68-piece High Jewellery Collection: Le Jardin De Chaumet

- CAROLINE SUGANDA

Parc de Bagatelle in Paris is one of the four gardens which make up the botanic gardens of the city. The garden is home to a charming small palace, Chateau de Bagatelle, as well as remarkable trees that have been there since the 18th century, along with flowerbeds of roses, irises, peonies and more. It’s a popular place for tourists and locals alike, known for its manicured garden and vast varieties of flowers as well as its ability to always provide a quiet respite from the city.

For one night only, the garden and its palace provided a beautiful backdrop for Chaumet’s high jewellery event — the launch of the French maison’s latest collection, Le Jardin de Chaumet. It was the perfect setting for the unveiling of a range named “Chaumet’s garden”, with the collection’s magnificent parures showcased beautifully by the delicate blooms and lush foliage of the garden.

The star-studded evening soiree featured celebrated actresses Song Hye Kyo, Gao Yuanyuan and Jessica Alba, as well as actor and singer Cha Eun Woo. The two ladies stunned the crowd wearing parures from the new collection: A diamond necklace punctuated with Mozambique rubies that curled around the neck like a vine for Song, and a double ribbon of diamonds sprinkled with “mistletoe” pearls and a huge emerald solitaire pendant for Gao.
