It began, as many influential designs do, with a ring. In 2004, Boucheron introduced the Quatre collection - a distinctive fusion of four of the Maison’s signature motifs: Grosgrain, Double Godron, Clou de Paris, and the Line of Diamonds. Each carried its own heritage and visual rhythm. Together, they created something unexpected: dynamic, architectural, and unmistakably Boucheron.
Now, two decades later, Quatre steps confidently into a new chapter. Under the direction of Claire Choisne, the Maison presents Quatre Classique Tube - a sculptural reimagining that sharpens the lines of the original, while pushing its geometry into bolder, more wearable forms.
Graphic Precision
At the centre of the new collection is a torque necklace. Its tubular silhouette is clean, assertive, and elegantly weighted and is finished with the emblematic Quatre motif as a clasp. In classic Boucheron fashion, materials become part of the narrative: yellow, white and pink gold combined with warm brown PVD and brilliant diamonds. The result is both contemporary yet rooted in the Maison’s vocabulary.
In the high jewellery version, the tension between heritage and modernity is heightened. White gold becomes the canvas for 98.94 carats of diamonds, each of the four motifs reinterpreted in a different cut: princess, baguette and brilliant. The Clou de Paris transforms into a tiled array of princess-cut stones; the Grosgrain into a luminous stream of baguettes. At the heart of the piece, the unbroken Line of Diamonds holds it all together - timeless and resolute.
Sculpture Meets Jewellery
Elsewhere in the collection, form follows function with quiet sophistication. A new bracelet design conceals its clasp inside the motif for a seamless silhouette. A double-finger ring stretches elegantly across the hand, transforming the Quatre into an object of wearable design.
Five new styles round out the offering: two choker-style necklaces - rigid but flexible - with a bangle, a rotating ring, and a compact take on the iconic Quatre hoop earrings. Every clasp is discreet. The open necklace version features two floating motifs, almost suspended in motion.
Later this year, the Maison will expand the collection with modular designs. A bolo-style necklace will allow the motif to slide along the chain; convertible earrings will detach and reappear as accents on clothing. These are not just pieces of jewellery—they are tools for self-styling.
A New Campaign: Into the Tube
The collection launches alongside Into the Tube, a visual campaign starring Alexa Chung, Mila Al Zahrani, Han So-Hee, and Xiao Zhang. Inspired by the collection’s graphic language, the campaign places its muses in futuristic settings, highlighting the sculptural nature of the designs.
The Meaning of the Motif
Each Quatre element carries a story. The Clou de Paris recalls the cobbled streets of Place Vendôme, where Boucheron first established its flagship. The Double Godron, drawn from 19th-century architectural ornament, reflects harmony and duality. The Line of Diamonds remains a symbol of permanence. And the Grosgrain - rooted in founder Frédéric Boucheron’s family of textile merchants - brings a tactile, couture sensibility to precious metal.
Every piece in the Tube collection is assembled by hand. There is no glue and no solder, only the precise click of materials perfectly aligned. It’s jewellery as engineering, with beauty in its logic.
A Collection That Looks Forward
The original Quatre made a name for itself by defying convention. It moved beyond traditional jewellery codes, embracing contrast, stacking and asymmetry. Since then, it has been rendered in monochrome, colour-saturated lacquers, and even rubber, solidifying Boucheron's reputation as an innovative Maison unafraid to experiment. Explore the collection
