New plays on the Boucheron Quatre Classique ring mark the anniversary, through necklaces, bracelets, a belt and a hair jewel A symbol of strength for 20 years, Boucheron’s Quatre jewellery collection began with a ring that grants all wearers the freedom to express their own individual style. It’s a band of power – or rather four bands coming together as one – and unlike Tolkien’s magical trio of rings bound in darkness, the French luxury jeweller ingeniously binds four of its historic codes in glorious, precious light. As Boucheron celebrates the 20th anniversary of a ring designed to represent everyone’s uniqueness, it shines a light on how society has progressed over the past two decades and how Quatre has embraced this change.
While staying true to its original essence, the collection has evolved to encompass bracelets, necklaces and earrings that are variously playful and audacious, technologically savvy and sustainable, and unabashedly ultra-luxe. Colourwise, there have been White editions and Black editions as well as vibrant Red and Blue. Groundbreaking capsule collections have cast denim alongside gold and diamonds, or included lightweight aluminium and resin, holographic-coated ceramic for a shimmering finish, or Cofalit, an upcycled industrial waste.
The recent Double White edition merged white gold and white HyCeram, a ceramic hybrid. Boucheron conceived Quatre as an innovative contemporary urban design that would transcend genders, boundaries and conve.
