Boucheron lets its favorite untamed plant loose again, tracing 168 years of ivy through nine new diamond-paved creations.

Some plants get cultivated within an inch of their lives, but Ivy seems to have nine lives. It creeps, it clings, it grows wherever it may please, and as it turns out, that’s precisely why Frédéric Boucheron cherished it enough to make Ivy one of Boucheron’s most enduring motifs.
The untamed vine first crept into the Maison’s archives in 1870, winding its way through the original Question Mark necklace design of 1879, and reappearing decade after decade in fresh forms. We found it in fine gold stems in the 1920s, a bold High Jewelry reinterpretation in 2012, and more recently, XXL versions sprawling across the body in 2025 and 2026 Histoire de Style collections.

In 2026, Creative Director Claire Choisne lets the plant wander a little further into Boucheron’s designs. Nine new pieces make up the latest Lierre de Paris drop, led by a trio of rings – one double-finger design, plus small and medium versions – each showing three ivy leaves unfurling across the hand. A pendant necklace mirrors the small ring exactly, built for pairing, while a separate claspless necklace wraps the neck the way a real ivy would trap a trellis. Two sets of asymmetrical earrings one clip-on, one drop, round out multiple styling options. Alongside, are ivy brooches fitted with a spiral clasp versatile enough to pin onto clothing or hair, worn solo or stacked as a trio.
The craftsmanship is where the real magic hides – every leaf is fully pavé-set, its underside open-worked purely so more light can pass through the diamonds and bounce light from every angle. Veining is carved and tips softly rounded, caught mid-growth in solid white gold.
