The medal throughout Boucheron’s history

A longstanding classic in jewelry, the medal has been a part of Boucheron since its creation in 1858. Throughout the eras and special orders, the Maison has crafted a considerable number of them. Zodiac signs, initials, or even portraits of loved ones have adorned this sentimental jewel.

A medal for Wladimir The Cat

This year, the Creative Studio reinterpreted the Boucheron classic, featuring the portrait of Wladimir, the emblematic cat of the Maison since 1979. This marks the year of his first appearance in Boucheron's advertising campaigns, adorned with High Jewelry necklaces. Since then, he has become the cherished animal of the Maison, inspiring his own medal necklace. In January 2024, Boucheron exclusively unveils the first medal in a series at the 26 Place Vendôme boutique, with the entire collection set to be revealed in September.
