From the deserts to the oceans, and the mountains to the rainforests, simply to an elsewhere far away from here is where the artistic director of Boucheron, Claire Choisne decided to resort to for the house’s new high jewelry collection.
Beyond the design, the materials used are contradictory yet harmonious like when diamonds collide with pebbles and burned wood, and where gold meets rattan and meteorite.
Choisne’s creations include five worlds and personas. The Sand Woman is adorned with a masterpiece Rotin Diamant (Diamond Rattan) necklace, a melting pot of stones, plants, precious materials and rattan. The Leaf Woman flaunts a titanium Serpent bracelet in shining lime lacquer and tsavorites. The very mineral Earth Woman wears a Bois Diamant (Diamond Wood) shoulder brooch, an imaginary flower recreated in Santos rosewood then set on an openwork gold structure. The Pebble Woman is recognizable for the gold tattoos, pear-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds, a link of pebbles pierced and linked one by one to each other and that birth the Galet Diamant (Diamond Pebble) necklace. With different shades of black and white, The Volcano Man unveils The Loup (Wolf) ring, which depicts a wolf howling at the moon and is made of meteorite, diamonds, white gold, platinum and onyx.
