Boucheron: The Four Essences of Quatre

Established in 1858, Boucheron was one of the first jewellers to open a boutique at Place Vendôme in Paris. Its success lies in its ability to create sensual and audacious jewellery for over 150 years.

Being the synonym for quality, tradition and craftsmanship, the brand has always been able to surprises its customers. Boucheron has always been able to change with the times as shown in its creations that are able to reflect the changes of trends. From iconic designs inspired by Cubism and Art Deco in the 1920s to its bestselling snake-inspired jewellery created in the 1970s, each piece reflects its artisan ability and exquisite craftsmanship principle when creating jewellery masterpieces.

The Quatre Ring Family

Amongst all the extraordinary pieces from Boucheron is the iconic Quatre ring. Quatre, meaning four in French, brings together four different gold bands into one ring. Combining a yellow, pink, white and Boucheron “chocolate” gold bands into one, each ring hosts one of Boucheron’s signature motifs of grosgrain, gadroons, pointes de diamant (points of a diamond) and smoothness. Based on these four shades and motifs, the Quatre ring has been creatively stacked one over the other, to create a single ring that has found fans in famed personalities such as Carine Roitfeld, Charlotte Rampling and Tomer Sisley.

The Quatre ring can be found in different sizes, and can also be set with diamonds to give it an extra touch of luxury. Meanwhile, the Quatre Follies brings the aesthetics of the four textures into wedding bands and solitaries, where either a line of gadroons is paired with a line of diamonds; or a smooth gold line design is paired with the pointes de diamant motif.

The new family member – Quatre White Edition

In bringing new energy and light into the classical Quatre ring, Boucheron presents the Quatre White Edition to the clan. After two years of research, Boucheron has created a “hyceramic”, a ceramic material that can be sculpted, thus this material can also be used to replace the Boucheron “chocolate” gold to create the pointes de diamant motif. This unique material is the first ceramic that can be sculpted and embellished by hand and it gives the graphic ring a luminous glow that will let the wearer’s hand shine under a dazzling white light.
