The story
Frédéric Boucheron and his workshop head Paul Legrand are credited with turning a peacock feather into jewellery in the house's first decades, when it appeared on hair ornaments and brooches. The motif has stayed in the repertoire ever since and now sits within the Nature Triomphante family, alongside Lierre de Paris, in rings, pendants and long feather necklaces.
