Bijoux B BOGHOSSIAN DESERT ROSE COLLECTION

oghossian proudly introduces the Desert Rose Collection, a tribute to the natural wonder of the stunning desert roses that bloom in arid lands along the Silk Road, which have long served as a source of inspiration for the Maison.

Desert roses are created when water evaporates in a shallow salt basin, resulting in the formation of crystallized minerals embedded with millions of sand grains. These crystals are shaped into petal-like structures by the forces of rain, wind, and pressure, resulting in a unique appearance of each blossom.

The intricate silhouette of the desert rose is expertly recreated by Boghossian in a new, one-of-a-kind ring and pair of earrings available in two sizes. The pieces are crafted from 18k rose gold and meticulously assembled by hand. The pink hue of the gold evokes the colour of desert sands and the romanticism of roses, while the roughness of the gold reflects the natural essence of the crystal. As light interacts with the petals, it creates a shimmering effect that adds to the luminosity of the pink tone. The overlapping petals are adorned with halfmoon, oval, and triangle diamonds, which sparkle like the sun on crystallized sand. It is the first time the Maison creates a collection centred primarily around the timeless precious metal, driven by a desire to explore new ideas in its coveted jewellery design.

Like the natural phenomena which form over time, the creation of these jewels required immense dedication and perseverance, with the ring alone taking over two years to perfect. The result is a stunning blend of visionary design, poetic symbolism, and exceptional craftsmanship. By wearing these pieces, one is transported to the poetic landscapes of the desert’s dunes.
