This week during Paris Haute Couture Week, jewelry houses will unveil exquisite high jewelry creations featuring ultra-rare gemstones and pieces that take dozens—if not hundreds—of hours to create.
Traditionally, the term “high jewelry” meant that each piece was unique, never to be recreated again, and featured exceptional stones in timeless designs. But the genre, where prices can start in the hundreds of thousands, has witnessed some exciting innovation and changes in recent years; now, some high jewelry pieces are meant to be worn every day, not just on formal occasions. Materials as varied as titanium, copper, and iron have been incorporated, and some jewelers now make multiple pieces of the same design. And under Creative Director Claire Choisne, no one pushes the boundaries quite like Boucheron.
