Boucheron: a heritage of light, creativity and jewellery excellence since 1858.
Founded by Frédéric Boucheron, in the 19th century, the company established itself as one of the leading names in French jewellery. A visionary, Boucheron decided in 1893 to set up shop at 26 place Vendôme, he was convinced that a diamond shines best in a setting where light can be reflected. This intuition became a symbol and sit the house as a pioneer at the heart of Parisian luxury.
From the outset, Boucheron has distinguished itself by a rare boldness of style. The company loves supple lines, sculpted volumes, complex interplays of light and unexpected combinations of materials. It explores naturalist, animal, plant and architectural themes, creating a rich and deeply poetic jewellery language.

The creations combine aesthetics and technical prowess, turning each piece into a miniature sculpture. Diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rare stones are chosen for their brilliance, colour and uniqueness.

The Bohemian Snake, launched in 1968, embodies free-spirited femininity and stylish sensuality, with its openwork teardrop motifs and sparkling pavé. The Four, created in 2004, has become a contemporary icon thanks to its play on textures and volumes, combining grosgrain, Paris studs, smooth rings and diamond pavé.
