Since its inception in 2004, Boucheron’s Quatre collection has successfully moved with the times and embraced social change. In two decades it has become an icon: both different and classic, unique and multidimensional. The making of Quatre is an artful fusion of traditional savoir-faire and precision technology.
Each code is patiently created with meticulous attention to detail. Quatre is constructed like a ring — formed of four completely distinct bands, individually fashioned then assembled to meet Boucheron’s iconic aesthetic. The four bands: Grosgrain couture, the Double Godron as a symbol of love, the Clou de Paris as a tribute to the City of Light, and eternal diamonds.
From initial composition of the alloys until assembly, each gesture is executed to within the nearest nanometer, as the most minute discrepancy could jeopardise the end result. Using a press, the four bands are assembled by hand, with a soft click signalling that the piece is complete. The Quatre Classique pendant in diamond pave states its intention clearly: assert your singularity loud and clear.
The brown PVD plays the style card, while the combination of three golds and diamonds reflects the Maison’s jewellery-making expertise. The Quatre Classique bracelet expresses the collection’s full aesthetic language in a single piece — Grosgrain couture, Double Godron, Clou de Paris, and eternal diamonds, combined in the bracelet that combines all four emblematic motifs. The Quatre collection is for those who embody the strength of character to serve and protect others — those who choose to lead the way rather than command, inspire rather than demand, and protect rather than challenge. Twenty years on, the icon remains.
