Boucheron, one of the world’s most iconic jewelry houses, pushes the boundaries of luxury and creativity with the long-awaited reissue of its Serpent Bohème Vintage collection. Access the Best Spots is proud to present this line, which embodies both the legendary heritage of the Maison and a resolutely modern vision of jewelry.
Heritage: 1968
The story of Serpent Bohème begins in 1968, with the captivating design of a drop. This simple drop quickly became the icon of the Maison Boucheron, embodying all the richness of jewellery-making expertise. Each scale of the snake, finely sculpted in gold, represents the mastery of the craftsmen who have been passing on their ancestral art since the creation of the Maison in 1858. The snake, a mythical and timeless creature, thus becomes a powerful symbol of transformation and beauty.
An Archival Treasure: 1974
In 1974, Boucheron unveiled a unique Serpent Bohème sautoir that amplifies this vision, with generous volumes and carefully selected gemstones. Elements such as onyx and coral are cut into cabochons and beautifully arranged. Claire Choisne, Creative Director, wanted to reinterpret this legendary piece by adding a more contemporary touch, redefining its volume while retaining the soul of the original.
Modern reinterpretation: 2025
Today, the Serpent Bohème Vintage collection is reborn in a reinvented version for 2025. The links of the sautoir have been refined and streamlined, while the colored stones have given way to brilliant-cut diamonds. These creations stand out for their grandeur and modernity, highlighting a gold texture inspired by the snake’s skin, the very symbol of the collection. These haute joaillerie pieces, combining technical perfection and contemporary aesthetics, are part of a constant reinvention of the spirit of the Maison.
Unusual, modular creations
The pieces in the Serpent Bohème Vintage collection are distinguished by their versatility. A transformable necklace becomes a brooch, and bracelets can be assembled to form a choker. This flexibility fits perfectly with the contemporary spirit of the collection, while highlighting the timeless elegance of the snake.
Unrivalled craftsmanship
Boucheron craftsmen are renowned for their mastery of goldwork, and the Serpent Bohème collection is the perfect embodiment of this. Each creation is hand-sculpted with extreme precision, giving life to subtle scales and a texture that imitates the snake’s skin. The diamond settings are particularly refined, designed to magnify their brilliance by letting the light shine through the stones with meticulous openwork.
