Carte Blanche Collection - 2022AILLEURS

Ailleurs – Elsewhere – is where Claire Choisne and her studio are taking us with this new collection. An “Ailleurs” where everything becomes possible, without any borders, and where nature is in a raw state. From the deserts to the oceans, the mountains to the rainforests, Studio Boucheron has confronted and mixed together worlds and materials one could initially think are contradictory; where diamonds meet pebbles and burnt wood, gold meets rattan and meteorite. In this “elsewhere” there is only one rule: to reveal the beauty and poetry of nature. In telling this story, Claire Choisne has imagined five different worlds, in which anyone can find a piece of themselves. This is the essence of the collection.

femme sable (sand woman)

A palette of beige, sand, and blonds illuminated by the sunlight as the warm wind sculpts a silhouette on the dunes: the Femme Sable (Sand Woman) set is an invitation to a dream-like desert, a vast space of harmonious curves, home to extraordinary animals. Here stones meet plants and precious materials meet rattan. The High Jewelry traditionally gives a suppleness to hard materials, such as metals and stones; here, the craft rigidifies a supple natural material, to create this spectacular association of rattan and diamonds.

PIE RING

GAZELLE RING

Gazelle ring in pink gold set with a 2.15-carat heptagonal-cut E VVS2 diamond and onyx, paved with round and baguette-cut diamonds totaling 17.63 carats.

femme feuille (leaf woman)

The atmosphere, in this second chapter, is saturated with vibrant tropical colors. The humidity beads down the skin, in a lush untouched rainforest: each piece in this set vibrates to the beat of a dreamy nature. Made of aluminum, a Feuillage cuff adorned with a 37.97-carat green tourmaline plays with the appearence of a plant weaving.

PAPILLON BROOCH

Papillon brooch in titanium with natural butterfly wings set with brown and yellow diamonds.

TOUCAN BRACELET

Toucan bracelet in titanium set with citrines and rubellites, paved with white diamonds and black spinels.

SERPENT BRACELET

Serpent bracelet set with tsavorites and onyx, lacquer on titanium.

femme terre (earth woman)

The solid, grounded Earth Woman invites us to celebrate the power of nature through a primal geology. The palette of ochre, browns and clays is associated here with organic shapes, both plant and animal. Let us start with the Diamond Wood Brooch and its magnetic shoulder brooch. Each petal of this imaginary flower has been scanned before being recreated in Santos rosewood then set on an openwork gold structure. The chromatic palette questions the idea of Nature.

BOIS DIAMANT BROOCH

Bois brooch in white gold, made of Santos rosewood, paved with diamonds totaling 43.36 carats.

femme galet (pebble woman)

Now for a breath of fresh air, that of a lunar ocean and its vast astral beaches. Slowness, silence and softness characterize this place.

The authentic white marble pebbles from the Diamond Pebble Necklace have been scooped out to be lightened and have almost become translucent. They are adorned with motifs like tattoos made of gold and diamonds, pear-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds. At the crossroads of water and earth, they sign the mineral choreography of the Galet Diamond jewelry pieces.

GALET DIAMANT PENDANT EARRINGS

Galet pendant earrings in white gold with natural pebbles, set with round and pear-shaped diamonds.

GALET DIAMANT RING

Galet ring in white gold with natural pebbles, set with round and pear-shaped diamonds.

OURSE POLAIRE RING

Ourse Polaire ring in white gold, set with rose-cut diamonds totaling 14.27 carats, a black sapphire and onyx.

ELEPHANT RING

Eléphant ring in white gold set with onyx, paved with diamonds totaling 9.76 carats.

homme volcan (volcano man)

Travelling into the depths of the Earth, this fifth chapter explores the magmatic power of an extreme world, where black meets white. The spiral structure of shells, as viewed through an X-ray, is airbrushed onto the mother of pearl elements of this white gold necklace. This airbrushed motif gives the necklace a three-dimensional illusion from “elsewhere”.
