Couture is central to the history of Boucheron. Louis Boucheron, the father of the Maison’s founder, worked as a draper in Paris beginning in 1817. By 1822, he had developed the business and began to specialize in silk, extending to lace – another rare, precious material – in 1837. Born in 1830, Frédéric Boucheron grew up in that setting, and it certainly influenced his approach to jewelry creation. Driven by the same pursuit of a delicate, supple adornment, he worked throughout the 19th century to craft gold and stones into elements inspired by couture. In this episode, Vincent Meylan tells the story of this heritage.
