Boucheron

In 1879 Frédéric Boucheron breaks free from traditional jewelry-making, creating the Question Mark necklace. At that time, getting dressed required assistance. This clasp-less creation, named after its flexible shape, was the first High Jewelry necklace that women could put on by themselves, without needing assistance. The Question Mark has since then become the High Jewelry icon of Boucheron - it has been reinterpreted into many different designs over time. #QuestionMark #Boucheron

Sound and High Jewelry intertwine under the same vision. This year, for the new High Jewelry Carte Blanche collection Or Bleu, Maison Boucheron collaborated with the French artist Molecule. Following Claire Choisne's footsteps in Iceland, he stepped into nature to capture the real sounds of waterfalls and crashing waves to create a composition especially made for the 'Or Bleu' collection. Sharing Boucheron's values and vision, he was a natural fit for this collaboration. His compositions add an auditory element, capturing the raw, powerful forces of water that inspired the new 26 High Jewelry creations. Dive deeper into this unique collaboration in a dedicated episode of our podcast miniseries on the 'Boucheron True Stories' channel – available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. https://lnkd.in/dHnMtXvZ #OrBleu #CarteBlancheHighJewelry

Boucheron's artisans transform Claire Choisne's vision into reality, blending traditional techniques with innovative technologies and materials. The 'Or Bleu' collection wouldn't have come to life without their exceptional savoir-faire, pushing the boundaries of the traditional High Jewelry industry. From the use of technologies capturing the movement of water to the 3D printing of black sand - every piece is a testament to the essence of Claire Choisne's creative vision: encapsulating the raw beauty of water for eternity. Boucheron gave a voice to two artisans who worked on the new collection – in a dedicated episode of our podcast miniseries on the 'Boucheron True Stories' channel – available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. https://lnkd.in/dHnMtXvZ #CarteBlancheHighJewelry #OrBleu #SavoirFaire

To create the new Or Bleu Carte Blanche High Jewelry collection, Creative Director Claire Choisne and her team embarked on an inspirational journey to Iceland, where the waters are strong, powerful, and raw. Amidst this breathtaking scenery, water became the muse for the "Or Bleu" collection. The 26 new High Jewelry pieces are each like a snapshot of nature. To illustrate this vision, German landscape photographer Jan Erik Waider followed Claire's journey, capturing Iceland through her eyes. His photographs perfectly illustrate the parallels between the natural elements and the corresponding High Jewelry pieces of Or Bleu.

We are thrilled to unveil our new Carte Blanche collection, Or Bleu, dedicated to a vital and precious resource – water. Inspired by the landscapes of Iceland, Claire Choisne captures the raw, powerful, and strong qualities of water in 26 new High Jewelry pieces. Thanks to the trust and freedom CEO Hélène Poulit-Duquesne places in Claire Choisne each year, the Carte Blanche collections continue to push the boundaries of High Jewelry. In 2024, Or Bleu is an ode to the preciousness of water, whose beauty is encapsulated for eternity.

For two weeks, the city of Cannes transformed into a vibrant epicenter, attracting thousands of people amidst a flurry of flashing cameras. At the heart of the city's bustling atmosphere, Boucheron High Jewelry creations, as well as the talented personalities wearing them, had the power to suspend time momentarily. We were honored to be part of this edition of the Cannes Film Festival and extend our gratitude to our ambassadors and friends of the Maison for their trust. We take immense pride in our long-standing partnerships with inspiring personalities who embody the spirit and values of Boucheron.    #Boucheron #CannesFilmFestival #HighJewelry #Cannes2024

Maison Boucheron was proud to participate in Kering's Women in Motion annual dinner during the Cannes Film Festival. We applaud the two recipients of the night, Amanda Nell Eu and Dame Donna Langley, and thank our ambassadors and friends for their presence at this important event.  Boucheron is fortunate to be part of a Group that contributes to changing mindsets and strives to give women the recognition they deserve in the arts and culture. Boucheron remains committed to championing women's success in all fields. #BoucheronCannes #Cannes2024 #Boucheron #WomenInMotion

Boucheron’s longstanding commitment to craftsmanship At Boucheron, craftmanship has always been synonymous with family spirit. Frédéric Boucheron took great care of his artisans. He sent them across the world to learn new techniques, highlighted their work during World Fairs, and offered them benefits that were not yet widespread at the time, such as paid vacations. Through these initiatives, Boucheron actively worked to improve the conditions of the profession – he even became president of the French Chamber of Jewelry and Goldsmithing Union in 1887. This family spirit lives on today at the Maison. The 26 Vendôme atelier as well as our recently acquired new atelier, both work in harmony to bring High Jewelry collections to life. Maison Boucheron is proud to count both men and women of exceptional talent and dedication in our workshops. #Boucheron #Heritage #Craftsmanship

La Maison est très fière d’annoncer qu’hier, au ministère de la Culture, son Chef d’Atelier Thanh Ngoc Le a reçu des mains de la la ministre de la Culture, Rachida Dati, la médaille de Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Cette récompense témoigne d’un talent d’exception mais aussi de la contribution remarquable de Thanh Ngoc Le dans la transmission des savoir-faire de la Haute Joaillerie. Issu d’une famille d’artisans joailliers, Thanh Ngoc Le ne se destinait pas à devenir joaillier comme son père et son frère. Mais encouragé par ses proches, il entre néanmoins à l’Ecole de Joaillerie de la rue du Louvre en 1995. Durant 3 années de formation (dans la même promotion que … Claire Choisne, la Directrice des Créations de la Maison), il s’est découvert une véritable passion pour le métier et a perfectionné son art, au point de devenir le meilleur élève de sa classe. En 1999, à l’issue de sa formation, il a intégré les ateliers du 26 place Vendôme à l'âge de 25 ans et ne les a jamais quittés depuis. Il a gravi tous les échelons du métier jusqu’à devenir Chef d’Atelier en 2021. En tant que chef d’atelier du 26 place Vendôme, Thanh Ngoc Le incarne l'humilité, la passion du métier, ainsi que l’esprit d’équipe : « Je ne me considère pas comme un artiste, mais comme un artisan qui fait partie d’un processus de création. Joailliers, sertisseurs, polisseurs, lapidaires… sans eux, il n’y a pas de bijou. C’est un travail collectif ». Thanh Ngoc Le place également la transmission au cœur de son métier et s’investit avec enthousiasme et bienveillance auprès des apprentis de l’atelier pour déceler leur potentiel et les faire grandir. C’est aujourd’hui sa plus grande fierté. La Maison présente toutes ses félicitations à Thanh Ngoc Le pour cette distinction. Merci pour son engagement depuis 25 ans et pour sa fidélité.
