the quatre icon

A creation inspired by the past, intentionally directed towards the future. Discover the archival motifs behind the Quatre collection. Each pays tribute to a different part of Boucheron's history.

A beloved motif since the 1860s, Grosgrain embodies the unshakable confidence derived from legacy and the bonds of family. Drawing inspiration from the textures of haute couture, it is a nod to Frédéric Boucheron’s couture background as the son of a draper. For wearers, Grosgrain is a reminder that confidence is not just an individual trait, but a gift nurtured by the love and support of those closest to us.

A timeless classic since 1892, the motif is a celebration of inner radiance and self-worth. Crafted as a sleek, luminous line of diamonds, it symbolizes the inherent preciousness of every individual - reminding wearers that their value is defined by their own unique qualities, passions, and truths. This motif invites us to reveal our inner light, to recognize our own brilliance.

The very core of Boucheron’s identity and the origin of its distinctive style, the Clou de Paris is a celebration of firm self-expression. Inspired by the cobblestone streets of Place Vendôme in Paris, this iconic pattern has been a cornerstone of Boucheron’s design language since 1911. Today, the Clou de Paris motif also stands testament to the birth of your one-of-a-kind style, empowering wearers to embrace that same boldness, and to express their unique identity with confidence.

A decorative motif commonly found in architecture. The Double Godron has symbolized enduring bonds of love since the 1860s. Its concentric circles are a tender tribute to the deep love between Frédéric Boucheron and his wife, a relationship that inspired Maison’s commitment to emotional resonance in design. Today, this motif empowers wearers to define love on our own terms.

Each code is a subtle fusion of traditional savoir-faire and cutting-edge technology, crafted with patience and attention to detail. Quatre is no ordinary ring. It is made up of four distinct rings, each individually worked before being assembled to capture Boucheron's iconic aesthetic.

From the first step—the composition of the alloys—to the final assembly of the four rings, every action is carried out precisely down to the hundredth of a millimeter. Even the slightest deviation could risk compromising the end result. A final sound, a gentle "click," marks the flawless completion of this creation. Each of its four rings is assembled by hand without glue or solder, relying instead on a press.

In this collection, technology enhances and supports traditional jewelry-making techniques, without ever replacing them. The manufacture of the Quatre ring involves digitally controlled machines to perform tasks requiring precision down to the hundredth of a millimeter, unachievable by human hands. This is the case, for example, of the turning process, which is the gold sculpting phase that shapes both the exterior and interior of the rings. 

Serpent Bohème was born in 1968, in a context of growing freedoms. A true sculpture in gold, this sentimental jewel embodies all the expertise of Boucheron artisans. 

In 1879, Frédéric Boucheron invented a necklace that revolutionized the codes of High Jewelry. At a time when jewelry and outfits still restricted women's bodies, Boucheron gave them the freedom to accessorize by themselves with this claspless necklace, which could be slipped around the neck with an effortless movement. 

1947: modernism is in full swing, advocating a return to the basics. It was in this context that Gérard Boucheron, the grandson of Frédéric Boucheron, envisioned Reflet: a watch with a groundbreaking design that featured, most notably, an invisible clasp hidden within the case.
