ron presents its new Carte Blanche collection. It is called “Impermanence.” Creative Director Claire Choisne captures nature’s essence. She makes the ephemeral eternal through jewelry. The collection invites us to contemplate our world. We are urged to better protect nature.
Boucheron Jewelry . A New Vision for High Jewelry
The collection is inspired by Japanese ikebana. It also embraces the wabi-sabi philosophy. Choisne created six unique botanical compositions. Each piece freezes a moment of fleeting beauty. Light is the collection’s common thread. It fades from light to darkness. This suggests the natural cycle of life.
The Botanical Compositions
Composition N°6: Tulip and Eucalyptus
This piece highlights a tulip and eucalyptus. It conveys their delicate beauty with glass. Artisans used hand-fashioned borosilicate glass. The glass is drawn to an extreme fineness. A white gold dragonfly rests on the plants. Its wings use sapphire glass and mother-of-pearl.
How to Wear It: The eucalyptus becomes a brooch or hair jewel. The tulip transforms into a lovely brooch. The dragonfly can be worn as an earring.
Composition N°5: The Thistle
This piece captures the thistle’s wild beauty. Its flower heads are 3D-printed from resin. This was a first for High Jewelry. Artisans faced a difficult challenge. A new setting technique was devised. They hand-sewed 800 diamonds into the blooms. The beetle and stems are white gold. They are set with diamonds and white ceramic.
How to Wear It: The large thistle is a brooch or crossbody jewel. The small thistle becomes a double-finger ring. The beetle can be worn as a brooch.
Composition N°4: The Cyclamen
This work features a tour de force setting. Almost 700 diamonds are set in the petals. They form a stained-glass window of diamonds. The oat stalk is made of black-coated titanium. Its spikelets are also set with diamonds. Two insects inhabit this small ecosystem. A caterpillar is made of white gold. Its articulated body can arch or flatten. A butterfly has white gold and diamond wings.
How to Wear It: The cyclamens pivot into a bracelet or brooch. The oat stalk becomes a beautiful hair jewel. The caterpillar is a brooch. The butterfly sits in the hair.
Composition N°3: The Iris
Artisans explored different shades of black here. The iris petals mix matte and glossy finishes. Diamonds in white gold trace the flower’s lines. The wisteria was a challenge of weight. It combines ceramic, titanium, and aluminum. This keeps the total weight very light. A stag beetle sits at the composition’s base. Its body is titanium with white gold bands.
A New Chapter in Jewelry
The Impermanence collection took 18,000 hours to create. It truly pushes the boundaries of jewelry. It uses new forms and materials. It blends high-tech methods with classic artisanship. Boucheron has once again made art wearable.
