It all began in 2004, with a ring. Four patterns from the Boucheron archives, all seemingly at odds with each other – Grosgrain, Double Godron, Clou de Paris and the Line of Diamonds – were brought together to form one singular esthetic. Drawing on the Maison’s heritage, the graphic, urban Quatre collection distils the essence of Boucheron into a contemporary signature that has become an icon, symbolizing strength and protection.

the story of Grosgrain

Behind Quatre’s modern design lie four iconic codes drawn from the Boucheron archives. Each pays tribute to a chapter in the Maison’s history, and the Grosgrain motif, in particular, is a nod to its founder. Grosgrain was originally a ribbed silk fabric, often used to make ribbons. This code has been in Boucheron’s archives since the 1860s. Its origin can be traced to Frédéric Boucheron’s father, who was a draper. The Grosgrain code recalls the couture heritage that helped make Boucheron’s name, with jewelry famed for being as supple and delicate as precious fabrics.

Quatre Grosgrain novelties

Having already appeared as rings and ear clips, the Grosgrain motif is now expanded with new creations that enrich the collection. The Maison unveils previously unseen pieces: a necklace, a bracelet, and delicate stud earrings, offered in yellow or white gold. Completing these additions is a graphic pair of stud earrings blending yellow gold, white gold, and diamonds for a harmonious finishing touch.
