Torsade de Chaumet

Ropes of gold and diamonds twisting freely round a straight line of stones, after the spiral frieze that climbs the Vendôme Column outside the house's windows.

Tilda's Bow

A silk bow, freshly tied by hand, rebuilt in rows of round and baguette diamonds, each baguette cut individually to follow the curve of a loop.

The materials are identical, white gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires, which makes the difference in gesture easy to see. Torsade de Chaumet twists its gold and diamonds like rope round a straight line of coloured stones, after the spiral frieze on the Vendôme Column, and began in 2021 with a tiara and a lasso necklace. Graff's Tilda's Bow loops its diamonds into a soft knot, with coloured stones kept for the double knots. A column in Paris; a silk bow in London.
