In 2023, the Aluminum innovation capsule delivers a joyful reinterpretation of Boucheron's Quatre and Jack icons. But behind their playful appearance, these creations conceal a plethora of technical innovations. The codes are reworked in magnesium or aluminum, which are 10 and 8 times lighter than gold, respectively, and are delicately set with round diamonds. A real feat when you consider that each aluminum prong is extremely delicate and irreplaceable during the setting process.
In 2022, Claire Choisne questions again the meaning of preciousness by introducing Cofalit® in the icon Jack de Boucheron. Made from recycled de industrial waste through a unique vitrification process, this material can't be recycled any further, therefore earning, the name of "final material". The result of a creative and technical challenge, theCofalit® used in the Maison's creations required several months of research and transformation to be worked according to jewelry codes. The Maison rises to the challenge and adds value to what is, in essence, no longer useful, making it precious.
Innovating also means teaming with partners who, in theory, have nothing in common with the world of High Jewelry. In 2021, the Maison called on Saint-Gobain, a French company founded in 1665 that specializes in manufacturing technical glass parts. This collaboration led to the creation of a holographic coating which, when sprayed onto ceramic and applied in dozens of layers, reveals a play of colors on Boucheron's Quatre and Jack creations.
In 2020, the Maison introduces denim in two creations, a Quatre ring and cuff. Claire Choisne brings denim into the realm of the precious, combining it with white gold and diamonds. A pairing made possible thanks to the expertise of the Maison's research and development department.
The entire history of the Maison is imbued with this spirit of innovation, which today is at the heart of Boucheron's creativity.
At Boucheron, it all begins with a dream. Then, traditional skills and cutting-edge technologies come together to shape the Studio's creative vision. Every year, Boucheron collections push the limits of High Jewelry and question the meaning of preciousness.
