Lot Essay

BOIVIN
The Maison Boivin was a precursor of its era with an uncompromising style free from fashion trends and conventional designs.
The particularity of the maison is that most of their jewels were so avant-garde that they are often mistakenly dated 40 years older than they really are. No matter when they were designed and manufactured, a Boivin jewel is timeless with unparalleled style.
