Boucheron’s latest collection celebrates the bonds of love, while Seal & Scribe’s Passport Jewels stir up a longing for luxurious escapes to the glamorous French and Italian Rivieras.
A tribute to enduring bonds and the poetry of love, Boucheron unveils its latest creations through the collection titled Because of Love 2025. The Maison celebrates the union of two souls — honouring their individuality while intertwining their destinies.
The campaign, Suspended Moments, captures the silent yet profound connections between lovers—when glances speak volumes and touch transcends words. Their strengths harmonise, their contrasts enrich, and their love flourishes — ‘Unique together, because of love.’
The collection, Say It With A Flower, is a delicate ode to romance. The signature Pivoine solitaire blossoms anew in an ethereal white gold pendant, accompanied by a matching engagement ring. Pavéd with diamonds and crowned with a brilliant-cut 0.15-carat centre stone, the reimagining of the peony unfolds its petals in a dance of light and brilliance—capturing the fleeting beauty of a flower in full bloom.
Say Yes With Quatre is a symbol of unity. The Godron wedding band is reimagined this year with a sleeker, more refined silhouette while preserving its timeless elegance and signature aesthetic. An archival motif rooted in Boucheron’s design heritage since the 1860s, the Godron — one of four distinctive patterns in the legendary Quatre collection — represents a fusion of two souls. Two rings meld into one, a poetic metaphor for love’s enduring strength, the pieces are crafted in platinum.
Boucheron is also introducing more designs to its existing jewellery lines: the new Serpent Bohème necklace is available in stores now, while May will see three new designs added to the Quatre line — Serpent Bohème Vintage Multi Motifs necklace, pavéd with diamonds, in white gold; Quatre Radiant wedding band in platinum; Quatre Double White Edition wedding band pavéd with diamonds, in white gold and white hyceram as well as the Quatre White Edition pendant pavéd with diamonds in yellow gold, white gold, and pink gold.
Seal & Scribe Sets off Vacation Mode With Statement Rings
Founder Shari Cohen has built her brand, Seal & Scribe, on the philosophy of “reimagining and re-presenting antique intaglio seals in settings that are at once both classic and modern.” When she launched her brand in 2016, she focused solely on presenting antique treasures in a fresh, contemporary way.
Fast-forward six years, and she found herself exploring new creative avenues — seeking designs that still expressed the Seal & Scribe aesthetic but without using intaglio seals as the centrepiece.
Gradually, she developed what she calls “side sketches”— ideas that wouldn’t work for the seals but had the potential to be “amazing” in a different context. “It was then that I started to envision the exterior of the collection,” she says. This led her to explore ways of incorporating seals into rings that felt both fresh and contemporary, while remaining true to her design ethos. “And that’s how Hidden Messages came into being,” she explains.
A dual-inspired mini-collection, Hidden Messages: Passport Edition brings in the brand’s signature intaglio seals with a more refined jewellery narrative. This time, Shari has relied on cabochons and sugar loaf gemstones as the hero stones of these fetching rings.
Each piece in the collection has two layers — an interior “Hidden Messages” layer, which features either a hand-cast 18-karat gold seal discreetly set within the under-gallery or an inscribed motto from one of the designer’s historic seals. Meanwhile, the exterior dazzles with gemstones in shades of blue, green, and red, evoking the vibrant natural beauty of the Italian and French Riviera’s beaches and towns.
“This collection allows us to merge our signature intaglio-based designs with the bold, colourful jewellery reminiscent of what the rich and famous wore while vacationing in these iconic European destinations,” says Shari. “Each ring captures the essence of a different location, with a motto that encapsulates the feeling of being there — or dreaming of being there.”
Featuring Sleeping Beauty turquoise, chrysoprase, coral, Mohave Desert chalcedony and aquamarine, the Hidden Messages: Passport Edition draws inspiration from the world’s most glamorous summer escapes —Cannes, Portofino, Capri, Monaco, and St. Tropez — places that sit high on every sophisticated traveller’s wish list.
What is it about these coastal jewels that the designer finds so fascinating? “I think the French and Italian Rivieras each have their own distinct personality, yet they share an undeniable magic. At their front door, they welcome the breath-taking Mediterranean Sea; in the back rise rolling foothills, offering unparalleled views from above and below. Some places, like Cannes and Monaco, are synonymous with old-school glamour, famous for their film festivals, grand casinos, and lavish soirées. Then, there are the smaller coastal towns, brimming with romance and iconic imagery — who hasn’t seen a photo of Portofino’s cliffside cafés, draped in lemon-covered gazebos, and instantly longed to be there?”
Another captivating aspect of this region, the jewellery designer notes, is that “irresistibly sexy, smouldering yet playful vibe” of the late 1960s and 1970s. Shari is a huge James Bond fan — especially the older films, “when cheeky dialogue and innuendo were in abundance.” When she thinks of this region, her mind instantly drifts to those vintage Bond films and their iconic locations. “I’ve drawn inspiration from countless images of women from that era while creating this collection, and I hope people don’t just see it, but feel it in every piece.”
