Boucheron is the first jeweler on Place Vendôme. It should be noted that it was in 1893 that Frédéric Boucheron was the first of the great contemporary jewelers to open a boutique on Place Vendôme. Thus, the Maison leaves the arcades of the Palais-Royal where it was founded in 1858. One of the Maison's most emblematic creations is the necklace Question mark. In this case, it is made without a clasp and the very first creation dates back to 1879. In fact, the necklace is wrapped around the neck with a simple gesture. It must be said that over 160 years, the Boucheron family has built a style, a reputation, and a remarkable savoir-faire. There is no doubt that this innovative jeweler possesses perfect technical mastery and boundless artistic talent. Thus, each creation is always ahead of its time while retaining its signature style.
Frédéric Boucheron designs, with a stroke preserved in the house's archives, a necklace unlike any other. No clasp. Today, the Question Mark is no longer just a piece of history: it is a language that the house continues to speak, generation after generation.
After Or Bleu, dedicated to the fragility of water, and Impermanence, which evoked the disappearance of life, Claire Choisne continues her reflection by shifting the focus to an often-forgotten truth. Behind every creation, before the stone, before the drawing, there is a hand, a gaze, an intuition. Human Being celebrates this invisible presence.
For this 2026 capsule, the Maison chooses to explore the richness of materials rather than modify the founding codes of the collection. The gesture is subtle but significant. Onyx joins the Serpent Bohème universe for the first time and introduces a new reading of the motif. Its visual density and contained brilliance offer an unexpected counterpoint to the warmth of yellow gold.
There are objects that have survived the century without ever losing their power of fascination. Not because they are old, but because they have been alive, worn, filmed, admired, and desired.
The Quatre ring, recognizable by its combination of textures and volumes, is now available in a mini version that retains the original balance of the collection.
Designed by the Maison Boucheron for its Carte Blanche «Holographic» collection (2021), the brooch now joins the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Frédéric Boucheron, the art of looking at the heart of the house’s history. Sometimes just a glance is enough to move a whole era. The glance Frédéric Boucheron casts on his surroundings in the mid-19th century is never passive; he observes, questions, and shifts.
In late January 2026, Paris once again experienced that special silence that accompanies the great moments of Haute Joaillerie. Far from the spectacular commotion of fashion, the plush salons of Place Vendôme and the discreet addresses welcomed collectors, aesthetes and loyalists of the great houses.
Boucheron: The geometry of dreams, a whole vision of the world that comes to life. To celebrate the centennial of the Art Deco movement, Boucheron is exhibiting a rare selection of its private collection in Osaka and Paris.

Grand Prix de la Haute Joaillerie 2025, a first edition marked by precision and elegance. The Salle des Étoiles du Sporting Monte-Carlo hosted the first edition of the Grand Prix de la Haute Joaillerie on October 25th.
The new capsule collection, dedicated to the icon Quatre, is part of this lineage, where the material becomes both a subject of reflection and an aesthetic vehicle. This time, black sand is the unexpected guest in a dialogue with yellow gold.
At Boucheron, the arrow is not an anecdotal ornament; it is part of the house’s DNA. Introduced as early as the 1860s, it has served as a testing ground for aesthetic experimentation, ranging from Orientalist refinement to the codes of 1920s Modernism.
The Boucheron house continues its exploration of nature with its new high jewelry collection Carte Blanche 2025, titled Impermanence.
The Maison Boucheron initiates an unexpected dialogue between four motifs drawn from its archives: the Grosgrain, the Double Godron, the Clou de Paris and the diamond line. Designed by Claire Choisne, this new variation retains the collection’s graphic and urban appeal.
Before taking shape in metal and stone, the jewel is born from a drawing. The exhibition Designs of Jewelry. The Secrets of Creation, presented at the Petit Palais, reveals the richness of its collection of jewelry designs, preserved since the 1990s and rarely shown to the public. Through a selection of more than 5,500 sheets, the museum reveals a century of ingenuity, from the 19th to the 20th century.
Bohème Vintage Serpent, the reinterpretation of an icon. For more than fifty years, the drop of the Bohème Serpent has stood the test of time without ever losing its brilliance. Today, Boucheron offers a reinterpretation that combines heritage and renewal, shaped by the exigency of jewelry craftsmanship.
Since its founding in 1858, the Maison Boucheron has maintained an intimate dialogue with nature. Not a nature tamed, frozen in a conventional aesthetic, but a living, free and organic nature. The Haute Joaillerie collection Histoire de Style 2025 Untamed Nature is a new illustration of this.
Since its founding in 1858, the Boucheron house has continued to stand out for its audacity and its taste for innovation. The new "Quatre 5D Memory" ring is the ultimate example, combining high technology and jewelry craftsmanship. Under the leadership of Claire Choisne, the Maison pushes the boundaries of preciousness by introducing innovative materials and concepts into its collections.
The Boucheron Question Mark necklace, a revolutionary jewelry design. Created in 1879 by Frédéric Boucheron, this unique piece embodies a revolution in the art of adornment, offering women freedom of movement never before seen. At a time when jewelry and clothing still constrained the female body, Boucheron broke with tradition by inventing a necklace without a clasp.
Boucheron’s new Haute Joaillerie collection Carte Blanche 2024, Or Bleu, celebrates this precious resource through creations dictated by the beauty and power of water. Inspired by the landscapes of Iceland, this collection not only adorns but also sings with poetry the memory of water.

Boucheron reinvents the display case with No pack is the new pack The Boucheron house is at the forefront of innovation by launching a bold initiative: No pack is the new pack.

This new season sees Maison Boucheron pay tribute to the airy grace of the Peacock Feather through ten exquisite creations. These jewels, after all, lay effortlessly and enchantingly on the skin.
This new Carte Blanche granted to Claire Choisne is both creative and daring. More is More defies the conventions of traditional jewelry.
During this week dedicated to excellence, jewelry designers compete with ingenuity to present pieces that captivate the imagination and awaken the senses.
In this regard, Claire Choisne, Director of Creation at the House, decided in 2020 to reinterpret this unique piece in order to create a high-end jewelry collection. Also, eighteen creations are inspired by the famous Art Deco motif.
Claire Choisne surprises us once again by using an atypical material, the Coalfit. Without prejudging it, she mixes a material derived from recycling with diamonds. Because cofalit is the result of the recycling of industrial waste. In order to draw attention to sustainable development, the Maison BOUCHERON here reaffirms its commitment.
Thus, we discover rare stones selected by demanding experts. Then, these same exceptional stones are sublimated in the hands of daring jewelers to be presented on fabulous jewelry.
