About Boucheron Brand
From serving the Royal families all over the world in 19th century to making the sought-after jewelry pieces nowadays, Boucheron house did it all. Today the brand keeps its leading position in the luxury jewelry strong.
A balanced mixture of traditions and creativity has been making Boucheron jewelry highly desirable throughout the time. For instance, one of the most recent pieces, a necklace from Goutte de Ciel (Drop of Sky) collection. It’s a white gold and diamond necklace that features 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 definitely carries the influence of 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.
Rope Motif in Jewelry Design
The rope motif is a classic element in jewelry design which is as timeless as it’s versatile. From a rope chain to a ring with a rope knot, the jewels inspired by the decorative aspects of actual ropes are elegant and classy.
The design is created by the twisting and braiding of metal or other materials to create a textured, intertwined pattern. Depending on the thickness and intricacy, it can satisfy both bold and subtle tastes. The motif can be found in various cultural jewelry traditions, from Celtic knot-work to nautical-inspired pieces.
The rope motif often symbolizes strength and unity. The intertwining of strands represents the coming together of different elements. Ropes are known for their durability which in jewelry may reflect the idea of resilience.
Contemporary designers put a modern spin on the rope motif, experimenting with asymmetry, unconventional materials, and innovative techniques. This allows for the creation of avant-garde pieces that still carry the essence of the traditional rope design. The rope motif is an adaptable element that continues to captivate both designers and wearers. Its symbolism and versatility make it a compelling choice, whether used in traditional forms or re-imagined for contemporary styles.
