On fine jewelry from a devotee of global design

House of Boucheron + Newson = Infinite Beauty

Boucheron Haute Joaillerie invited Marc Newson to collaborate by designing a piece that the master craftsmen of Boucheron would create. With The Infinite as inspiration, to even say “It’s quite something” is a bit of an understatement. Newson has long been interested in the mathematical world of fractals, and this project gave him the opportunity to further his own exploration through representation. The one-of-a-kind piece in the video is known as the Julia Necklace because it was inspired by Gaston Julia, the scientist known for discovering the Julia set Fractal. Beautiful, complex, elegant, fascinating - what more could ask for from a piece of fine art?

(Note: The next post includes a still image of the necklace.)
