Prepare to be spellbound by Boucheron's celestial works of jewellery art ✨
Claire Choisne is a jewellery magician. The Boucheron creative director’s charm and modesty belies her absolute power to innovate and captivate with her creations, and at the same time make pieces that are utterly wearable. Having captured real flowers for eternity and turned sand and shavings of marble into precious baubles in the past, her latest high jewellery collection, Contemplation, seeks to evoke the heavens by exploring materials more commonly used in space exploration.
It was a feeling Choisne wanted to transfer into jewellery, no easy feat given the elusiveness of both emotions and changing skies versus the forever nature of precious metals and gemstones. Success, however, was achieved with a determination that she has had ever since she was at jewellery school. “I would get so frustrated when my teachers would tell me that I should focus on technique and that my ideas were impossible to create. It really represented a lack of freedom to me,” she laughs.
Boucheron’s Fenêtre Sur Ciel necklace was inspired by James Turrell’s work in Naoshima, Japan, and is a feather-light titanium scarf set with tanzanite, diamonds and mother of pearl spray-painted with 30 layers of lacquer to evoke the skies above.
