‘Holographique', A Hypnotic High Jewellery Collection

Inspired by the fleeting beauty of light and colour, Boucheron’s creative director Claire Choisne likens the 25-piece collection to “a moving rainbow”

Rainbow sightings are always something to treasure. The meteorological phenomenon only occurs with an exact combination of light and water. They're uncommon sights to begin with and don't linger for very long, making them all the more precious.

It's that bit of magic that Boucheron's Creative Director, Claire Choisne, hopes to capture in her latest high jewellery collection, Holographic. But the collection wasn't just named for the visual effect: Its Greek etymology means 'to represent everything.'

And there's no one piece that represents that idea better than the eponymous Holographique necklace. Undoubtedly the collection's magnum opus, the Holographique necklace is made of fine crystal blades, each bearing a multitude of different colours – each slice acts as a prism, creating a stunning rainbow-like effect when light hits the necklace.
