Boucheron’s latest high jewellery collection, ‘Untamed Nature’, reaffirms the maison’s reputation for pushing the boundaries of design by embracing the wild, raw, and beautifully imperfect. Rather than focusing on idealized blooms and regal beasts, the collection draws from the unrefined and unmanicured elements of the natural world—a vision that echoes the unconventional aesthetic of its founder, Frédéric Boucheron.
Where most Place Vendôme jewellers looked to majestic lions and noble roses for inspiration, Boucheron always saw beauty in what others overlooked. From thistles and ferns to flies, beetles, and dragonflies, Frédéric built a legacy on celebrating nature in its most organic, chaotic, and lifelike form.
His reverence for the “perfectly imperfect” was more than aesthetic; it was scientific. In pursuit of hyper-realism, Frédéric Boucheron amassed a library of over 600 scientific works to better study and replicate every intricate twist of a leaf, every curl of a petal, even the droop of a windblown flower. The result? An archive that teems with daisies, clover, ivy, and bumblebees, each rendered with the kind of detail that feels alive.
The new ‘Untamed Nature’ collection is a continuation of this vision—blending botanical precision with imaginative craftsmanship to transform seemingly modest flora and fauna into extraordinary works of wearable art. Each piece offers a gentle defiance to convention, honoring the wild elegance found in the everyday corners of the natural world.
In an era where perfection is often staged and symmetrical, Boucheron once again reminds us: real beauty grows in the untamed.
