Nature has long served as a wellspring of inspiration for the artisans of Place Vendôme, and Boucheron’s latest Histoire de Style collection, Untamed Nature, reimagines this connection through an avant-garde lens. Under the creative direction of Claire Choisne, the Maison unveils 28 transformative high jewelry pieces that merge craftsmanship with innovation, capturing the raw, organic beauty of the natural world.
This collection revisits Frédéric Boucheron’s fascination with untamed nature—his archives abound with intricate depictions of ivy, thistles, ferns, and insects, all crafted with meticulous realism. Rather than simply replicating these motifs, Untamed Nature breathes new life into them, creating a living, wearable ecosystem where flora and fauna seamlessly blend with the human form. From the resilience of lingonberries to the windswept elegance of oat grass and thistles, the collection celebrates wild flora in breathtaking detail. The rose bush, often overshadowed by its blossoms, takes center stage with sculptural leaves and diamond dewdrops that echo the beauty of new growth. Ethereal cyclamen and intricate fuchsia capture the fleeting grace of flowers in motion.
Symbolizing renewal and transformation, insects such as bumblebees, stag beetles, moths, and rhinoceros beetles take flight in dazzling white gold, rock crystal, and mother-of-pearl. Their delicate wings and lifelike textures are a testament to the Maison’s unparalleled artistry. Versatility is woven into every design—necklaces transform into brooches, earrings extend into cascading pieces, and rings conceal intricate mechanisms that allow them to shift form. Through a fusion of technical mastery and creative vision, these jewels mold to the body with effortless fluidity, making each piece an intimate extension of the wearer.
With Untamed Nature, Boucheron celebrates the wild in its purest form—capturing fleeting organic beauty and preserving it in the eternal brilliance of diamonds.
