EDITOR'S REVIEW
Boucheron's Quatre collection pays homage to the architecture of Paris and picks up on patterns you would see on a stroll around the city: a glimpse of light bouncing off the Seine; a rain-slicked cobblestone; a detail of stonework on the side of one of the capital's grandiose buildings; the velvet darkness of a city park at night. The ribbed 'gadroon' forms refer to architectural details found in the city's iconic steel structures, such as the Grand Palais or the Eiffel Tower. Launched in 2004, the brave new design lines up four gold bands in yellow gold, white gold, pink gold and Boucheron's rich 'chocolate' gold. Almost masculine in its emphatic form, repeated patterns and rigid lines, on the finger of a woman, Boucheron's Quatre ring is edgy, sexy and a touch defiant.
