Boucheron: Refinement and the art of jewellery craftsmanship
Boucheron is not just a jewellery brand, it is a true legend in the world of haute couture and jewellery art. Founded in 1858 by Frédéric Boucheron in Paris, this House of jewellery has become a symbol of luxury, refinement and innovation.
The history of Boucheron begins in the centre of Paris, on Place Vendôme, where the workshop of Frédéric Boucheron quickly gained popularity among the aristocracy and elite. Boucheron was the first jeweller to open a boutique on this famous square. The founder's unique approach to jewellery design and the use of the finest materials made the brand one of the most prestigious in the world:
- the jewellery is inspired by nature, architecture and historical motifs;
- the brand uses only selected precious stones and noble metals;
- each piece is handmade by experienced craftsmen;
- many jewellery pieces are made to order, which emphasises the exclusivity of each piece.
What kind of jewellery does Boucheron create?
The brand's assortment covers:
- rings and bracelets with unusual shapes;
- necklaces and necklaces inspired by nature;
- tiaras and brooches with precious stones;
- watches that combine aesthetics and functionality.

Boucheron is famous for using only the best materials and stones, which is one of the key factors in the popularity of their jewellery:
- Gold - white, yellow and rose gold of the highest grade. Special attention is paid to the treatment of the metal to emphasise textures and create a play of light.
- Platinum - used to create jewellery with exquisite finishes and durability.
- Ceramic - a high-tech material used in the Quatre collection to create contrast and a contemporary look.
- Diamonds - exclusively the highest quality stones with excellent colour and clarity characteristics. Many Boucheron jewellery pieces are set with uniquely cut diamonds.
- Sapphires, emeralds and rubies are only natural stones with intense colour and clarity.
- Aquamarines and topaz - used in collections with light, airy motifs.
- Rare stones - Boucheron often uses tourmalines, tanzanites and spinels to give jewellery an individual touch.
- Pearls - perfectly round and radiant, used in bracelets, necklaces and earrings.
The brand actively utilises the exceptional features of the materials:
- ‘Parure’ stones - groups of gemstones that are selected so that their colour, size and shape are perfectly harmonious.
- Crystal clarity - each stone is carefully selected to ensure perfect quality.
Boucheron uses unique jewellery techniques such as pave, inlay and filigree. This makes each piece a true work of art.
