Vintage 18ct Gold Ring by Boucheron

A very stylish ring made by the well-known firm Boucheron circa 1970. It has a wonderful wavy design and is a lovely example of Boucheron.

The House of Boucheron is a French family dynasty founded by Frederic Boucheron in 1858, during the heyday of the Second French Empire. He created his atelier in 1866 and a year later won the Gold Medal during the Exposition Universelle in 1867.

In 1893, Frédéric Boucheron became the first jeweller to move to Place Vendôme. Legend has it that he chose 26 Place Vendôme, where Boucheron remains to this day because it was the sunniest corner of the square. He believed that the diamonds in the windows would sparkle all the more brilliantly.
