Contemplation

Capturing the ephemeral so that it doesn’t fade away. Suspending time. Telling through creation what words cannot express.
It is this poetry that Claire Choisne reveals to us this year, in a High Jewelry collection that is personal, intimate, almost confidential. She reinterprets the codes of the Maison Boucheron through the lens of her own creative world.

GOUTTE DE CIEL – SKYDROP

«Through this necklace, I wanted to capture the impalpable and to offer a piece of sky to wear around the neck. This dream was made possible the day we discovered Aerogel. Aerogel is the material that has the lowest density in the world, consisting of 99.8% of air and 0.2% of silica. NASA actually uses it in space, on panels, to capture stardust. Aerogel has the same properties as the sky, and is blue for the same reasons the sky is blue. Therefore its color varies depending on the light.
We encapsulated our Aerogel “Sky Drop” in a rock crystal case. »

GOUTTE DE CIEL NECKLACE

Necklace in rock crystal and paved with diamonds, set with a drop of rock crystal in aerogel, in white gold.

EN PASSANT - PASSING THROUGH

« We wanted to represent the movement of passing clouds, but in a manner that wouldn’t be figurative. This 1901 design from the archives inspired us to recreate our clouds in the desired graphic and contemporary manner. »

FENÊTRE SUR CIEL - WINDOW ONTO THE SKY

« The inspiration behind the necklace is the “Open Sky” work of art by James Turrell located in Naoshima, Japan. When laid, this necklace depicts a window onto the sky. When worn, it has the suppleness of fabric.
The structure of this necklace is made of titanium, composed by numerous hexagons forming a supple knit. Every hexagon is covered with airbrushed mother of pearl and with diamonds. What is also fabulous about this piece is that the 30 layers of lacquer covering the mother of pearl are so thin that we can still see the iridescence of mother of pearl under them. »

NUAGE EN APESANTEUR - WEIGHTLESS CLOUD

« I dreamed to enable women to wear a cloud around their neck. However we didn’t want to draw a cloud, but rather to recreate its aerial aspect. We started from a cotton maquette placed on a bust, that we scanned. With the help of a programmer, we then created an algorithm generating thousands of 3D dots picturing a cloud, and worked on it until we found the perfect cloud.
Our Weightless Cloud is composed of 4018 diamonds that are enhanced by glass balls. »
