Boucheron 2025 Carte Blanche High Jewelry Collection Impermanence

This year, Boucheron celebrates nature in its two High Jewelry collections. In January the Maison began a new chapter in its Histoire de Style with “Untamed Nature”, an homage to Frédéric Boucheron’s vision of nature. Through her new Carte Blanche collection, Claire Choisne seeks to give a more personal interpretation. She’s carrying forward the creative dream first articulated in 2018 with the “Eternal Flowers” – making eternal that which is ephemeral. This year, Claire sought to capture the very essence of nature in “Impermanence”, a collection that invites a deeper contemplation of our natural world, so as to better protect it.

Inspired by Japan’s art of flower arranging, ikebana, and its philosophy of wabi-sabi, Claire Choisne has created six botanical compositions, frozen in their evanescent beauty. Each of them, from “Composition N°6” – the lightest – to “Composition N°1” – the darkest, is an embodiment of how nature is gradually vanishing. Light is the common thread running through the “Impermanence” collection; initially omnipresent, it fades by degrees, dwindling away into a pitch blackness that suggests the end of a natural cycle. These compositions are made up of 28 pieces of true High Jewelry to wear on the body.

Boucheron is proud to unveil “Impermanence”, the culmination of over 18,000 hours of work in the Maison’s workshops. As ever with Carte Blanche, this High Jewelry collection pushes the boundaries of its industry, as much in its form as in its use of cutting-edge materials and techniques.

“In this new Carte Blanche collection, I’ve sought to capture the beauty of nature before it vanishes.

These six compositions illustrate nature’s fleetingness, shifting from light to shadow to highlight how precious it is. Comprising 28 pieces of High Jewelry, the collection is an ode to that fragile instant that I wanted to crystallize for eternity.”
