LA FLÈCHE DE BOUCHERON

BOUCHERON FLECHE

The arrow of Boucheron signifies a particular style.

At Chez Boucheron, The arrow is not an anecdotal ornament; it is part of the house’s DNA. Present since the 1860s, it has served as a testing ground for aesthetic experimentation, ranging from Orientalist refinement to the codes of modernism of the 1920s. Its dual symbolism—weapon and messenger of love—has allowed for numerous variations without compromising its strength.

The 2025 collection rigorously reinterprets this heritage. Eight creations make up the two brooches line, including one large format featuring round diamonds and baguette cuts. And two rings that contrast in their design. The first wraps around a finger, the second covers three phalanges. A necklace and a bracelet without clasp are also revealed; a pendant and a pair of earrings. The choice of monochrome, exclusively diamond, reflects a clear intention: to extract the motif from all secondary decor to bring it back to its essence.

Technically, the collection illustrates the virtuosity of the workshops Boucheron. Metal’s flexibility, meticulous fittings and balance of proportions give the pieces a rare mobility. The arrow, thus reinvented, is not limited to being a historical symbol. It becomes a tool of identity expression, accessible to all genres and conceived as a contemporary sign of personal affirmation.
