The asymmetrical elegance of Chaumet Jeux de Liens
Founded in 1780 under the patronage of Empress Josephine, the Parisian House of Chaumet has built its reputation on the symbolism of attachment and sentiment. The Jeux de Liens collection reinvents this rich heritage by replacing the classic love knot with an asymmetrical cross, the modern signature of an unbreakable union. This second-hand bracelet, reference 084997, features a central disc of natural malachite weighing around 2.95 carats. Its deep green colour, highlighted by natural rectilinear bands characteristic of this fine stone, contrasts sharply with the luminous warmth of the 18-carat rose gold alloy.
Architecture and jewellery-making expertise
The structure rests on a fine forçat link chain supporting the central disc. The malachite is firmly held by a continuous rose gold closed setting, protecting its full profile while maximising its visual presence. Superimposed on the green gem, the cross-shaped motif features 10 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling approximately 0.06 carat. These stones, set in a highly meticulous grain setting, provide a precise point of sparkle without weighing down the overall look of the setting and its polished finishes.
Why this second-hand bracelet
Choosing a signed, recent jewellery creation on the second-hand market is a particularly informed approach to contemporary luxury. This approach acquires the historic artisanal excellence of the Place Vendôme, including the rigorous selection of hard stones and the intricate precision of setting, against the cost of modern production. The flat, delicate volume of this model offers absolute comfort and timeless elegance for everyday wear.
