Boghossian Unveils the "Palace Voyages" Collection, A Journey Through Royal Elegance

In the realm of high jewellery, inspiration runs deep and wide, but for the esteemed Swiss jeweller Boghossian, it thrives in a realm of regal magnificence. Enter the jewel house's latest opulent offering: the “Palace Voyages” collection. Drawing from the grandiosity of palatial architecture that stretches from Beijing to Brighton, this stunning collection is set to make its exclusive debut in Thailand at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok. This private showcase unveils 13 breathtaking pieces that encapsulate the magical spirit of some of the world’s most admired royal residences, including Beijing’s Qianlong Palace, Thailand’s Grand Palace, and England’s Brighton Pavilion. 

The Grand Court

A true testament to artistry, the collection features the “Grand Court” sets, a resplendent homage to Bangkok’s iconic Grand Palace, a historic architectural wonder that dates back to 1782 and once housed the Kings of Siam. The palace’s exceptional design, embellished with traditional gold leaf tiles and intricate glasswork, has ignited the creative fires of Boghossian’s artisans.

The Shimmering Rays

Among the collection’s standout pieces, the “Shimmering Rays” ensemble dazzles with an exquisite array of fancy intense yellow and white diamonds, capturing the radiant allure of the palace itself. Masterfully crafted using an innovative invisible setting technique, this piece showcases sleek, uninterrupted lines that mirror the soaring columns and grandeur of the Grand Palace. At its heart is a pendant that reinterprets the legendary Naga, a dragon-like figure intricately integrated into the palace’s design, lending this modern masterpiece a captivating aura with an enchanting mystique.

The Qianlong Palace

Step into a realm of opulence with the Qianlong Palace, a splendid retreat nestled within the enchanting Forbidden City, designed as a sanctuary for the illustrious Qianlong Emperor. This architectural marvel has inspired a breathtaking necklace, expertly crafted from jade, diamonds, and pearls, which reimagines the timeless elegance of a flowering branch—a quintessential motif of classical Chinese artistry.

Complementing this exquisite piece is a jade and diamond cuff bracelet, where masterful marquetry captures the essence of dark wood lattices and the delicate allure of silk panels. Together, they epitomise a harmonious fusion of tradition and luxury, making a striking statement in the realm of contemporary high jewellery.

The Belvedere Beauty

Introducing Belvedere Beauty, where elegance meets artistry. This exquisite necklace draws inspiration from the delicate frescoes adorning the palace and its enchanting gardens. A captivating "ribbon" crafted from shimmering baguette diamonds mirrors the graceful motion of a bow, while a beautifully rendered flower basket bursts with an array of multicoloured diamonds, celebrating nature’s vibrant palette.

Showcasing the hallmark of Boghossian’s unparalleled savoir-faire, the diamonds are meticulously inlaid within lustrous mother-of-pearl, artfully arranged in layered designs through the innovative Kissing technique. Each piece is a testament to craftsmanship and creativity, making a striking statement of refined luxury. 

With the “Palace Voyages” collection, Boghossian expertly honours the intricate weave of history and culture while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. This dazzling showcase masterfully bridges Eastern and Western influences, transporting wearers to the grand courts of the past, where elegance and artistry reign supreme.
