A Boucheron bracelet, symbol of the Thirties
Geometric jewelry of the Art Deco period
At the end of the Great War, the field of fine arts experienced a context of artistic mutations. There was a simplification and deconstruction of forms, notably with the cubist movement.
These experiments extend to jewelry. The Art Deco jewelry emancipates itself from the classical codes imposed by the label. The flowery excesses of Art Nouveau naturalism gave way to pure geometric forms with stylized motifs. This was also the period of unprecedented combinations of gems never before used in fine jewelry: jade and onyx, turquoise and diamonds, or ruby and lapis lazuli.
Platinum is the metal of choice for the Art Deco movement, its whiteness that never loses its brilliance, its rigidity and its resistance make it the ideal material to use for rigorously geometric designs.
Typical of the Art Deco period, this bracelet combines fine pearls with sculptural and geometric volumes composed of rock crystal and diamonds on a gold and platinum setting.
Louis Boucheron actively participated in the jewelry innovations of the Art Deco movement. He distinguished himself at the 1931 Colonial Exhibition with jewelry inspired by African art.
The bracelets created by Boucheron at this time demonstrate a great modernity. The bridge and sloping designs, inspired by industrial architecture, are recurrent and most often matched with diamonds and sapphires. Boucheron makes sure that the movement of the bracelet is in harmony with that of the wrist.
At once supple with the fluidity of the fine pearls and static with the massive rock crystal central motif and clasp, this bracelet in almost monochrome hues is an elegant testament to the aesthetic trends of the 1930s.
