BOUCHERON
Boucheron is the oldest jewelry house on the Place Vendôme — established at number 26 in 1893, in a location Frédéric Boucheron chose specifically because it caught more sunlight than anywhere else in Paris, which meant the stones in the window would show better. That attention to the relationship between light and material has defined the house ever since. Boucheron is less broadly recognized outside France than Cartier or Van Cleef, which means the secondary market has historically underpriced it relative to its quality. For collectors who understand what they're buying, this is an advantage.
Boucheron sits unambiguously in the top tier of French fine jewelry.
