About Boucheron Brand
From serving the Royal families all over the world in the 19th century to making the sought-after jewelry pieces nowadays, Boucheron house did it all. Today the brand keeps its leading position in luxury jewelry strong.
A balanced mixture of traditions and creativity has been making Boucheron jewelry highly desirable throughout the time.
One of the most recent pieces from Goutte de Ciel (Drop of Sky) collection, a white gold and diamond Goutte de Ciel necklace has an exquisite ice-blue pendant made of Aerogel.
It’s a material that was previously only used by NASA. The idea behind the piece was to capture the purity of the sky and translate it into a jewelry piece.
As to vintage Boucheron jewelry, it carries the influence of the French Classicism era. Being raised by the family of drapers, Frédéric Boucheron, the Maison’s founder, brought the pliancy of silk and laces into the goldsmith process.
That concept is easy to see in the airy looking Boucheron Bombé ring or famous Boucheron bird brooches.
At Nadine Krakov Collection we carry both modern and vintage Boucheron pieces that you can shop here.
About Rock Crystal Jewelry
Rock crystal, a transparent variety of quartz, is a versatile and easy to work with gemstone. Its purity and capacity to absorb light makes the gem a popular choice for creating beautiful pieces. Artisans value rock crystal for its ability to be cut, carved, and polished into a wide range of forms. One of the most appealing aspects of rock crystal is its cost advantage. It allows jewelers to experiment with bold designs and larger pieces. Despite its affordability, rock crystal can create a luxurious appearance when used in combination with precious metals or paired with other gemstones.
Rock crystal has been employed in jewelry throughout history and gained popularity during the Art Deco period. Gem’s sleek, geometric lines were often combined with black onyx to create striking contrasts.
In modern jewelry, rock crystal is used to craft everything from statement necklaces to delicate earrings. Jewelers often enhance the natural beauty of rock crystal through unusual faceting, allowing it to catch and reflect light. The stone’s transparency also makes it perfectly suitable for encasing other materials, adding depth to the final piece.
