HISTORY

Today, it's impossible to imagine Paris's Place Vendome without the splendid jewelry boutiques that dazzle street walkers. But back in 1893, a spirited jeweler Frederic Boucheron was the first to establish the jewelry shop in Place Vendome, a square in the heart of France that has become one of the industry's retail epicenters. He bought the sunniest corner of the square, believing that the diamonds in the windows would shine much more brightly. And Boucheron wasn’t mistaken.While the company has since expanded greatly to boutiques around the world, 26 Place Vendome remains its spiritual home.

Boucheron became known as the jeweler of independent and free-spirited women. From the Maison’s founding in 1858 until now, the idea of freedom has been displayed in various aspects: creative and aesthetic freedom, technical and artistic freedom. But first of all – the freedom in how jewelry is worn, with no regard for the strict rules or ideology. All the products created by Boucheron helps women throughout the globe to define their own unique style and personality, and thus to reveal how they are each individual and beautiful.

Boucheron was a family fashion dynasty, and after the death of its founder Frédéric Boucheron in 1902, his descendants have run the business. At the end of the XX century, the brand has been expanded to a wider audience with its selling out to Schweizerhall. In 2000, the Boucheron was then bought by Gucci Group, which in its turn was acquired by PPR in 2004. Nowadays, Boucheron is owned by Kering, a global luxury group that includes a comprehensive number of top-ranked Houses in Fashion, Jewelry, Leather Goods, and Watches.
