Lot Essay

From the very founding of the Maison in 1858, Frédéric Boucheron used wild flora as a source of inspiration. Nature according to Boucheron is free, proud and wild. No flowers tamed or arranged. During the Second Empire, the Empress Eugénie latched on to wild flowers. As prosperous times and imperial celebrations followed, Boucheron’s creations danced among the splendid finery of the women of the court. The jeweler’s aesthetic bias took shape: that of a flower not shaped by man’s hand.

Wheat conveys a symbolism between fantasy and reality. Emblem of the Egyptian god Osiris who they say created it; golden wheat symbolizes fertility and wealth. It is often represented in pictorial art for its many positive attributes and golden colours associated with the Sun. Today, Epure Blé d’été reinterprets into a contemporary creation the wheat allegories and the jewelry vision: celebrating the happiest moments of life.
