Boucheron is a French jewellery house. Since its founding by Frederic Boucheron in 1858, the house has created exceptional pieces in the high jewellery, watch and jewellery ranges. Throughout the history of the House of Boucheron, Frederic Boucheron was often a pioneer: he was the first jeweller to open on the Place Vendôme in 1893, he did successful experiments with diamond engraving, and was the precursor of the “nature” style by using snakes and other symbolic animal figures of 19th century Art Nouveau.
