Condition Report*:
Metals:
Gold
Overall Condition: Very Good
Condition Notes: This long Chaumet necklace is an elegant study in mixed metals, featuring twisted bronze links interspersed with 18k yellow gold rings. A larger 18k gold ring sits at the center, likely designed to accommodate a pendant, offering added versatility. The bronze links exhibit some darkened patina, a natural characteristic that enhances the piece’s vintage appeal. Secured with a classic spring ring clasp, the necklace is signed Chaumet Paris on a plaque at the receiving end, with French hallmarks at the clasp and center ring affirming its authenticity. This necklace is a nod to Chaumet’s artistry in blending traditional and unexpected materials and comes with a red leather and silk portfolio.
Chaumet: Founded by Etienne Nitot in 1870, the small Parisian firm became famous as jewelers to the aristocracy. Joseph Chaumet, joined the firm by marriage in the mid 1870s, assumed the corporate leadership in 1885, later renaming the firm. Joseph Chaumet’s creativity, and naturalistic approach created romantic jewels catapulting him to the pinnacle of Belle Epoque design where aigrettes and tiaras became the company’s signature items. The firm has remained under the leadership of the Chaumet descendents who maintain an eye for supreme style and quality. Through the 1960s and 1970s, Chaumet's animal and flower jewels were prominent. The firm expanded its market share introducing watch designs that while contemporary carry the same classic lines that make Chaumet one of the most sought after designers. Chaumet operates offices in Paris, New York, and London. Gold
