I love Chaumet and their different lines, I just wish there was a store here in the US.
I was just there today. We have a store here in Toronto (basically mini store within store). Their rose gold is beautiful. Its a nice shade. I like the Bee My Love collection but if you think the new sweet perlee (which I also saw today) is thin, then you would find the Bee My Love bangles super skinny! The Lien Seduction is pretty too in the pave design, however, I would say the Insolence line is the prettiest as it is very feminine and different from a lot of other designs currently on the market.

i’ve been considering the chaumet liens seduction/evidence bracelet or one of the josephine necklaces, but same problem as op — can’t try them on. do you have any pics from your visit? would love to hear your thoughts on those pieces if you took a look at them

I tried the more basic Liens Seduction (the knot has diamonds) and the full pave Liens Seduction (they did not have the version with the one side (ribbon) pave as it was out of stock). I think the price points are fairly competitive and if you like rose gold it is worth a try as I find their RG very rich, if that makes sense. I was surprised by the Liens (looks like an "X") actually because it was of no interest to me prior to seeing it but irl it offers a lot of sparkle at a very good price. I tired the Bee My Love and I would not do the basic one without any diamonds for two reasons: Bee My Love is very skinny (too thin) and while its reflective in the way it is cut, its bound to be scratched all over. The alternating pave was ok. The best of the three styles of the Bee My Love was the full pave version (the underside is not pave though) where the top half of the honeycomb is covered with diamonds. The Insolence design is stunning and very feminine as would be expected it being a bow made with RG and WG and diamonds. Over all, I think I if I went with a Chaumet piece I would either do the full pave Liens Seduction or the full pave Bee My Love. I also managed to try the thin VCA sweet Perlee and I actually like it - BUT - it has to be with the Perle D'or. And it certainly is a stacking piece and I do not see it suitable to be worn alone (in my opinion anyway). Hope this helps. Again, it is all one's personal perspective and I'd be interested to hear any else's opinion too. Chaumet is certainly a feminine brand.

This is the first time Ive gotten a good view into the Chaumet collection. Thank you ! I agree with you, I love the Liens full pave … although all pieces do look STUNNING ON YOU!

That one is pretty. My only hesitancy is I wish it was a tiny bit thicker but that is just personal preference.

I wonder why there are no/so few places which carry Chaumet in the US.... I did ask and Birks (a luxury jewellery boutique in Toronto - actually its a store across Canada) will ship to the USA if anyone was interested. With our currency it might be advantageous for those outside Canada to consider.

They used to have a Chaumet store in Manhattan. But then the company was convicted of fraud and went bankrupt in 1987. I read they tried to re-enter America in the 90s but weren’t successful. I’m sure that plays a major part in why Chaumet still hasn’t returned to states.
