Founded in 1780, the Maison Chaumet may be regarded as a true institution, among the most illustrious French jewelry houses, particularly recognized for its exquisite craftsmanship and commitment to innovation (photo credits: Chaumet).
Therefore, for more than two centuries, one can admit that Chaumet has created unique pieces for demanding clients around the world, while preserving the artisanal traditions that have made its longtime fame.
Based on the historical and luxury Place Vendôme, and now the property of the LVMH group, Chaumet pursues as much as possible its timeless approach of originality and excellence in high-jewelry.
On the behalf of LVMH‘s ambassador Antoine Arnault, the Maison Chaumet has been entrusted to design and create the so-awaited the Paris 2024 Olympic Games‘ medals, by respecting in the mean time the essence of this centenary universal competition and the timeless elegance of the house.
For your information, each medal is meticulously designed and handcrafted by highly skilled artisans, using time-honored jewelry-making techniques. As far as we know, those Paris 2024 Olympic Games medals are aimed to capture the spirit of this so-called City of Lights, while naturally symbolizing unity and victory.
That’s why, they feature patterns, which are inspired by the iconic architecture of Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, combined with elements representing the different Olympic sports.
Apart from including authentic remains from the original Eiffel Tower, the Maison Chaumet has been employing the highest quality materials, to create those prestigious medals of 85mm x 9,2mm. By the way, each medal conveys a certain symbol of success and French lifestyle, while respecting all the specifications of the Olympic Committee.
Additionally, two versions of those 5084 issued medals were designed, one for the Olympic Games and one other for the Paralympic Games (featuring Braille signs).
