| CHAUMET Paris. Since its founding in 1780, CHAUMET has created more than 3,500 crowns. This is the most important exhibition with the theme of "crowns" since the Chaumet exhibition at the Palace Museum, so I invited friends who love jewelry to come and see it. 📍Address: No. 500, Dongdaming Road, Shanghai, China International Visitor Center, Rainbow Space 🚇Transportation: Metro Line 12 International Passenger Transport Center Station 📆Exhibition time: 2023.9.17-2023.10.15 💰Price: 30 yuan 💎Exhibition highlights: The exhibition consists of six themed halls: Symbol of Power, Stylish Weapon, Path to Eternity, Crowning of Love, Epic Heritage and Creative Power. Among them, Queen Josephine's "wheat ear" crown and "bell flower" crown amazed me~ ☑️The Wheat Ear Tiara is the favorite of Queen Josephine and an indispensable masterpiece in the history of neoclassical jewelry. Its dynamic sense of wind blowing wheat waves is a masterpiece of naturalism. ☑️The Campanula Crown marks the birth of the world's first platinum crown, which shows how shocked the guests at the scene were that year. The oversized and sparkling main diamond on the crown is the ultimate representation of lightness and brilliance. ☑️In addition to seeing these blingbling exhibits in person, you can also participate in the interaction and wear a "crown" of your own.
