Chaumet Unveils New High Jewelry Collection "Journey Through Nature"

On Wednesday, April 22, 2026 (local time), the jewelry maison Chaumet unveiled its 2026 high jewelry collection, 'Journey Through Nature,' at the 'Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay,' an idyllic former abbey nestled quietly in the countryside near Paris. This historic former Cistercian abbey, given new life in the 19th century through the visionary foresight of Baroness Charlotte de Rothschild, was transformed into a stunning venue that perfectly reflected the spirit of Chaumet for this glamorous, one-night-only evening. Under the majestic arches of what was once the monks' refectory, the jewelry was displayed in a magnificent atmosphere brimming with the abundant beauty of nature.
