Boucheron: The Secret Archives

Indulge in this captivating and revealing book that unpacks the secret archives of Parisian jeweller, Frederic Boucheron.

Author Vincent Meylan was given unprecedented access to the Boucheron archives, unearthing such gems as the ‘Book of Stones’: a record of every precious stone that has entered Boucheron’s stock – rubies, emeralds, diamonds, sapphires and pearls alike.

Each jewel in Boucheron’s history has its own story: the madness they provoked, the love they formalised, and the deaths they caused. From Tsar Nicholas II of Russia to King Farouk of Egypt, Boucheron’s jewellery has caused a sensation, traveled the world and made an indelible impact on the history of luxury design.
