In its 2025 High Jewelry chapter, Boucheron delivers an emotional ode to the fragile poetry of nature through "Carte Blanche - Impermanence", a collection envisioned by Creative Director Claire Choisne. Far from a traditional tribute, this collection embodies a philosophical reflection on impermanence, rooted in the Japanese principles of wabi-sabi and ikebana.

Over 18,000 hours of craftsmanship gave birth to six botanical compositions, each blurring the boundary between reality and art, the ephemeral and the eternal. From the ethereal tulip and eucalyptus in Composition N°6 to the ghostlike magnolia in Composition N°2, the collection traces a path from light to darkness, symbolizing the fading cycles of life.

Composition N°6 captures a trembling moment before dawn: gossamer tulip petals, a dragonfly poised mid-flight, and a vase hand-blown from borosilicate glass. In contrast, Composition N°5 is fierce and bold, with thistles rendered in groundbreaking plant-based resin and a rhinoceros beetle in white gold. Composition N°4 brings cyclamen and oat to life with rose-cut diamonds and brush-fiber caterpillars. N°3 deepens the contrast with iris and wisteria in stark black DLC-coated titanium, while N°2 explores skeletal magnolias in snow-set aluminum and white gold. Finally, N°1 plunges into pure darkness, where Vantablack®-coated poppy petals dissolve into the void.

More than jewelry, "Impermanence" is a meditation on time, memory and transformation. Each wearable sculpture not only showcases technical virtuosity and pioneering material use – from 3D-printed sand to sapphire glass – but also awakens a sense of reverence. As Choisne explains, "I wanted to crystallize that fragile instant for eternity."

With "Impermanence", Boucheron doesn’t merely preserve nature’s beauty; it invites us to pause, reflect and ultimately cherish what we cannot hold onto.
