Bracelets bind beauty

Pushing boundaries, Boucheron has combined denim with diamonds; employed holographic coating, Cofalit or aluminium; and incorporated glass along with a 5D memory technique for producing a series of avant-garde jewellery.

Last year, the maison turned to cutting-edge 3D sand printing for another innovation capsule — the Quatre Sand Cuff.

The iconic Quatre is characterised by four bands with distinctive motifs from Boucheron's archives. The challenge was to distil the material into its clean, graphic lines instead of rounded contours.

Boucheron previously took its high jewellery to the next level, by embedding sand from the Thar Desert into a rock crystal necklace, and sculpted Or Bleu pieces out of black sand without the need for any metal edges or encapsulation.
