New jewels from the Serpent de Bohème collection signed by Boucheron ♦ ︎
After turning off the 160 birthday candles Boucheron continues to offer jewelry and high jewelry. The story continues: the French brand founded in 1858 by Frédéric Boucheron, which is now part of the Kering group, does not deny its origins. Boucheron was the first jeweler to open a shop under the arcades of the Palais Royal, the center of Parisian luxury at the time. And he was the first to introduce a certain way of understanding jewelery with his Maison. For example, with one of his most classic collections, Serpent Bohème. The motif of reptile-shaped jewels is actually even older. Serpent Bohème is a collection that is renewed periodically, with the addition of new pieces, gems, original solutions. From 2017, when a updating of the collection was proposed, for example, other innovations were introduced, such as the hair band, in rose gold and diamonds, while the gold of the ring was always worked to reproduce the skin of the snake.

On the other hand, Monsieur Boucheron liked adventure: in those days, when travel was a real dangerous, he went to the most distant places to visit the precious stone mines. Starting from the gems he then designed iconic pieces like the Point d’Interrogation necklace, an emblematic piece and an ingenious invention: it was designed without a clip, with a hidden spring system that allows the necklace to curl around the neck like a feather, presented to the public at the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1889.
