One hundred and sixty-seven years ago, Frédéric Boucheron set up shop at Paris’s Galerie de Valois in the Palais Royal. A jeweler born to a family of drapers, he carried with him an instinct for texture and light. He valued the intimacy of craftsmanship. His creations defied the conventions of the time. They were fluid and luminous, designed to be lived in rather than simply displayed. From the beginning, Boucheron’s artistry was a family affair. These were pieces meant to be passed down, reimagined, and worn with a sense of ease and belonging.

​Now, in 2025, that legacy of innovation and intimacy continues. Boucheron opened its newest boutique on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles this summer. It is Boucheron's first on the West Coast and its ninety-first location worldwide. The maison’s arrival feels almost inevitable. Here, a house built on light meets the city that has built its own mythology around it.

​To mark the occasion, Boucheron hosted a two-day celebration at the iconic Harvey House in the Hollywood Hills. The house is a 1950s architectural gem designed by John Lautner, protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright. It was restored by actress Kelly Lynch and screenwriter Mitch Glazer. The home embodies Los Angeles’s signature alchemy of glamour and warmth. This makes it a fitting mirror for Boucheron’s spirit of legacy and reinvention. Guests were invited to rediscover the city through the maison’s creative lens. People moved through spaces alive with golden light, sculptural jewelry, and echoes of both Parisian and Californian artistry.

​Dinner by Chef Dave Beran and a vibrant performance by Nile Rodgers & Chic animated the evening, as Boucheron CEO Hélène Poulit-Duquesne and Creative Director Claire Choisne welcomed guests into what felt less like an event than a gathering of family—artists, dreamers, and creators united by a shared reverence for beauty and craft.

​Among the guests were Hollywood’s finest—Laura Dern, Tracee Ellis Ross, Julianne Moore, Judith Light, Natasha Lyonne, and Gia Coppola—with rising stars Stephanie Suganami, Cooper Koch, and Charlotte Le Bon, alongside Harley Viera-Newton, Elaine Welteroth, and Morgan Stewart McGraw. Together, they toasted not just a new address, but a lineage: one that began in the heart of Paris and now, generations later, finds new light beneath the California sun.

​At every Boucheron location, a dialogue unfolds between place, history, and feeling—but in Los Angeles, that dialogue glows brighter. It’s a city, like the maison itself, built on vision, on family, and on the enduring belief that light—whether captured in a gem, a film, or a moment—tells the most human story of all.
