HIGH JEWELRY COLLECTIONSHISTOIRE DE STYLE

Medals, buttons, embroideries, aiguillettes… Claire Choisne, Creative Director of Maison Boucheron, revisits the couture heritage of Frédéric Boucheron, taking inspiration from ceremonial attire. She takes a new approach to the concept of ceremonial ornaments, metamorphosing them through the ingenious application of rock crystal and diamonds. This precious deconstruction brings to light 24 High Jewelry pieces that open the way to a new vision of couture.

When Princess Elizabeth turned eighteen in 1944, she received a Boucheron aquamarine and diamond double clip brooch. She would continue to wear these sentimental designs throughout her reign. In 2020, Claire Choisne, Creative Director of Boucheron, decided to take inspiration from this unique piece to create a High Jewelry collection reinterpreting the famous Art Deco design through eighteen contemporary new designs. “Like a Queen” draws inspiration from an icon whose style transcended decades.

This year, creative director Claire Choisne delved into Maison Boucheron’s Art deco archives. She extracted the spirit, the line, the radical simplicity of a time when style was all about atttitude. As a perfect echo to modern-day women and men.
