The Serpent Bohème collection embodies the bohemian spirit. Free thinking, an obvious though unconventional refinement, and the artistic ideal of a quest for a world that is simpler and more beautiful; these are the qualities that are reflected in this exquisite collection.
It is perhaps also a kind of insouciance that allows bohemian types to move freely through different eras and styles. The Serpent Bohème collection embodies this freedom of style and this taste for passing things on from one era to another, whereby pieces of jewellery tell stories and acquire a new look each time they are passed on. The Serpent Bohème collection also has the virtue of possessing the grace of those family jewels that both mother and daughter want to wear, and that appeal to women of all ages, from 16 to 100.
The Codes
The Drop Motif
This very early Boucheron motif symbolizes the head of a serpent. Subtle and feminine, set with pavé diamonds and crowned with gold beads, the new Honeycomb effect allows the light to shine through, enhancing the sparkle of the stones. This design that is unique to Serpent Bohème reveals the full scope of the jewelers’ art. The extreme precision of their work justifies yet again their very special title of the Hands of Light. The gold, whose beads are the hallmark of the Master jeweler, transcends the brilliance of the diamond like an aura.
There are three sizes of drop across this range of jewels: small, medium, large and extra large models. They all share the same high quality of stones specific to the Maison Boucheron, the same sparkle and the same purity.
The Twisted Chain
Whether used in a necklace or a bracelet, the twisted chain is an old favourite of the Maison. All spirals and volutes, it fits perfectly with the Serpent Bohème motif for which it is made finer than ever. It is classic in its design, contemporary in its diameter, Boucheron in its elegance.
The Sculpted Gold
For over 155 years, Boucheron has been putting its expertise at the service of the materials.
Renowned as a great sculptor of gold, the Maison has always promoted the working of this metal, which is enhanced by the artisans “hands of lights”. represented symbolically rather than figuratively, the working of the gold by the Maison’s goldsmiths is all the more important.
To bring the material to life, the chasers push the metal into shape using hammers and chisels. This action brings the serpent to life, giving it scales and a grained texture to the skin, which can be seen even in the charm of the pendant and the bracelet.
The New High Jewellery novelties
The bohemian woman is a woman who dares, who is always ruled by the heart rather than by reason, who loves outright. The new Serpent Bohème pieces epitomize this spirit of daring. They stand out against the skin with their oversize dimension, and make an incredible impact. The twisted chain of the long necklace is now thicker, and the drop is longer. But since the bohemian woman loves choice, she can wear her talisman with the chain or without, as a pendant or as a brooch. In summer or winter. In the daytime or for the evening.
The bangle bracelet adorning her wrist is also full of volume and texture and plays with extremes: in full diamond pavé, or oversized, it makes an impression. The Boucheron woman also expressed a desire for the cocktail ring to be in full diamond pavé, so it now comes in a sumptuous evening (soir) version for her utmost pleasure.
