Nature's Bounty

Boucheron taps into its archive of natural beauty, finding inspiration in wildflowers and insects to unveil 28 new creations in its high jewellery collection.

BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS OFTEN find their inspiration in nature. Poet William Wordsworth, for example, chanced upon a host of golden daffodils during a stroll in an English garden, an encounter that sparked his beloved poem, Daffodils.

For Frédéric Boucheron, nature was not merely a muse but a guiding force, evident in the ivy that entwined the arcades of Palais-Royal, where he opened his first eponymous boutique in 1858. Boucheron's eye for beauty extended beyond flora to encompass the delicate intricacies of fauna. Over time, he began to curate an archive rich with representations of ivy, thistles, ferns, flies, and bumblebees.

This year, creative director Claire Choisne draws on the rich heritage and pays homage to nature with 28 new high jewellery creations in Untamed Nature from the Histoire de Style family.
