Boucheron - Quatre Black Edition

March 2012

Created in 2012, the “Black Edition” collection of Boucheron presents the first Quatre ring to feature black gold and white gold.

Boucheron - Quatre Black Edition

A glittering black, a black that is pure and perfect and highlights the “clous de Paris” motif. Contemporary and innovative, elegant and graphic, the “Black Edition” collection plays with the offbeat nature, the mystery and style that characterize the rock’n’roll attitude à la française, without ever lapsing into the ephemeral.

This novel interpretation is a new affirmation of the style and creativity that are the hallmark of the Quatre ring.
