The new season of Boucheron jewelry, “Wladimir, The Cat”, is inspired by Gérard Boucheron’s pet cat, Wladimir, the third generation heir to the brand, and uses diamonds and white gold to create a vivid image of the pet cat’s pride.
Adopted by Gérard Boucheron in the 1970s as a long-haired black cat, Wladimir launched his modeling career in the 1980s, wearing gorgeous jewels in many of his iconic and adorable campaigns for Boucheron.
