Boucheron’s Plume de Paon Collection Takes Flight

Boucheron captures freedom in white gold

Boucheron has always danced between poetry and precision since its founding in 1858. With the new Plume de Paon collection, the Maison gives physical form to a motif that has graced its creations for over a century. Peacock feather themes, once sketched in quiet homage, now become living, breathing jewelry.

The star of the collection is the Plume de Paon necklace. Crafted in diamond-paved white gold, the design abandons clasps in favour of wrapping the neck with light couture elegance. Each featherlike motif moves with sensitivity, riding the wind like its natural counterpart. This dropping jewel creation balances featherweight grace with the sturdiness of nearly four, and in some versions over, four carats of diamonds on supple gold.

The Plume de Paon bracelet continues the narrative of nature in motion. Woven from white gold and set with a constellation of diamonds, it curves around the wrist as an articulated sculpture rather than an ornament. It captures a rare lightness even in precious metal form.

Rings, earrings, pendants and inserts for Boucheron’s signature claspless Question Mark silhouette appear in sizes both bold and intimate. A smaller ring version offers airy elegance with half a carat of diamonds, while ear clips and pendant earrings cascade the feather motif with brightness and fluidity.

The story behind the motif echoes Boucheron’s early days. Since the 1860s the peacock feather symbol has captivated the Maison’s imagination, most notably under the hand of designer Paul Legrand. Its return here is not a whim but a conscious homage—with the motif still offering an ever fresh sense of freedom and grace.

Crafted Lightness

Each piece is a testament to Boucheron’s savoir-faire and the Maison’s commitment to imaginative execution. Openwork and articulation make the jewelry feel like extensions of the body, not objects worn. Every movement across the wrist, neckline or hand stirs the diamonds into a quiet dance.

The aesthetics are more than visual; they are viscerally emotional. The feather motif distills aspirations of softness, flight and transformation into tangible, wearable elegance.

A Feather for Every Story

Prices range from around USD 6,800 for the smaller ring to over USD 69,900 for the full-length necklace, a price measured against its artistry and sculptural weight.

The collection reads as a suite of talismans meant to be worn together or alone to elevate an evening dress, center a casual look, or whisper of antiquity in modern form. It invites layers of meaning and layers of structure.

Why It Matters

More than jewelry the Plume de Paon collection is a story unfolded in gold and light. In a cultural moment driven by statements and scoring surfaces the collection feels made for deeper resonance. It speaks quietly but memorably to the desire for beauty that feels both natural and heroic.

With Plume de Paon Boucheron has achieved something rare. It has made jewelry that is not merely seen but felt. It is the elegance of nature, rendered by master hands—not just worn but inhabited.
