A seductive hide-and-seek is portrayed in “Insolence”, the new High Jewellery and Fine Jewellery collection by French luxury house Chaumet. “Insolence” tells the story of a diamond ribbon and a rose gold rope chain that meet to intertwine, tie and untie in a whimsical game of duality. A classic at first glance, this jewellery tale reveals a free-spirit.
The bow-knot, on the verge of being undone, evokes light-hearted transgressions. Spontaneous and carefree, the Insolence collection celebrates a femininity, which is sensual, hedonistic, and ready to embrace all of life’s pleasures.
Inspired by the ribbons dear to Queen Marie-Antoinette and the jewelled garlands of the Belle Epoque, Chaumet’s bow-knots have always symbolised the bonds of love and affection in the tradition of sentimental jewellery. The eternal tie between two beings, the knot that is carefully tied and presented to the world claims a pledge of serene love. Supple and nonchalantly woven, it is easily undone in intimacy, with Insolence.
