Geneva-based high jewellery brand Boghossian specialises in avant-garde, offbeat designs with an edgy elegance, pioneering innovative processes such as the ‘kissing’ technique, where one precious stone is set carefully into another. In other intricate methods, materials are imbued with a lightness, demonstrated notably in the Merveilles technique – as in the earrings below – where precious stones, placed next to each other, appear to magically float, with none of the metal holding them in place visible.
This engineering wizardry appears again in the ‘Flame’ earrings. They are created in a selection of sorbet shades, including kunzite and chalcedony, and pink tourmaline and opal; here, green jadeite is teased into sculptural curves that cradle vivid green tourmalines, creating playful pieces inspired by the rectilinear forms of the Kufic alphabet.
