This time, we highlight Saudi-British beauty Nada Kamani, a rising figure renowned for her distinctive presence and tasteful choices. Kamani is a boundary-pushing fashion and lifestyle influencer whose ability to combine modern and classical elements makes her the ideal model for Chaumet’s creations. In the pages of Vogue Arabia’s September issue, she brings the Chaumet En Scène high jewelry collection to life with her effortless grace and sense of style. A festive ambience comes together with the muse to create a majestic spread that honors Kamani’s aesthetic and serving as a showcase for magnificent high jewelry.

Nothing short of a masterpiece is the white gold Harmony transformable necklace. Featuring an 8.72-carat pear-shaped diamond in its center, this elaborate design also comes with 2,800 claw settings and 700 bezel settings painstakingly created to produce an impression of fluidity and movement. This dance is continued by the matching Harmony earrings, which have six brilliant-cut diamonds set in them. The blue sapphires in the earrings evoke the beauty of the sky on a summer night. When combined, these pieces show off the ideal combination of sapphires and diamonds, providing a melodic interaction that only Chaumet could arrange.

Next, the transformational allure of the Voltige line dazzles. The Voltige earrings are a Maison hallmark, combining beauty and versatility with an oval and brilliant-cut diamond design set in white gold. Whether worn as drops or studs, these earrings offer endless possibilities, with their diamonds radiating fire akin to an acrobat’s aerial display. The Voltige ring and the gorgeous high jewelry watch, which both celebrate Chaumet’s inventive craftsmanship and feature lines that twist and tighten in a delicate balance of form and function, perfectly complement the earrings.

An homage to the Empress Joséphine herself is presented in the Joséphine Valse Impériale pieces. The empress’s fondness for exuberant dances and lavish celebrations is reflected in the earrings, which are made of white gold and set with brilliant-cut and pear-shaped diamonds. The necklace that accompanies it, which is encrusted with rubies and diamonds, provides a lively touch and reflects the Empress’s bold and adventurous nature. These creations capture the art of lightness, a hallmark of Chaumet, with center stones that set the tone for a regal celebration of life’s most precious moments.

A lavish score of diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds plays out in perfect harmony in the Partition collection. With each gemstone vibrating at virtuosic intervals, the Partition necklace and earrings, crafted in white gold and platinum, resemble the notations found in a musical score. The centerpiece, a necklace set with three Colombian emeralds, perfectly captures the depth and richness of Chaumet’s artistic vision. The exquisite dance of emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds is an homage to the Maison’s unrivaled savoir-faire, with one piece showcasing the others.

Finally, the Melody collection’s perfect combination of white gold and diamonds raises the stakes to a crescendo. With square emerald, brilliant, and triangle-cut diamonds, the Melody ring and earrings create a visual symphony that strikes a balance between lightness and tension. Every item in this collection demonstrates Chaumet’s skill at transforming unadulterated beauty into a wearable piece of art.
The splendor of Chaumet’s “Chaumet en Scène” collection lingers when the night comes to an end and the music fades, serving as a constant reminder of the Maison’s eternal artistic talent. Chaumet keeps spinning a tale that enthralls, captivates, and renders its audience speechless with every jewel, every sentence, and every detail. And at the heart of this captivating performance is Nada Kamani, who effortlessly and gracefully captures the soul of Chaumet’s most recent masterwork. It is undoubtable that she enchants everything she touches.
