This new season sees the House Boucheron Paying tribute to the aerial grace of the Paon Feather through ten exquisite creations. These jewels, after all, lay down with a mesmerizing lightness on the skin. In the hair or at the nape of the ear, they seem to whisper the secrets of the unparalleled craftsmanship of the artisans of the Maison. Boucheron workshops. What makes this collection particularly distinctive is the introduction of a gradient of colors. In fact, it evokes the chromatic palette of a real peacock feather. However, these sublime shades are not the result of chance. They stem from the expertise of the Boucheron House in the art of setting precious stones. Diamonds, sapphires, tsavorites and tanzanites harmonize harmoniously to create captivating brilliance. However, it is the innovative use of titanium that adds a unique dimension to these jewels.
Let’s not forget that titanium, a metal three times lighter than gold, allows jewelry artisans to gain a few precious grams. This gives these Plume de Paon creations an airy lightness. But this is not the only remarkable quality of titanium; it also offers flexibility that pays tribute to Frédéric Boucheron’s vision.

That is why the creators of the Creation Studio have imagined pieces that are faithful to the real plumes of peacock feathers, those that flutter in the wind. To achieve this delicate movement effect, a system of electronic control is meticulously designed.
Indeed, it allows the various parts of the feather to be articulated, making each strand independent and free as air. Thus, when these jewels are worn, they seem to come to life, dancing to the rhythm of the person who wears them.
