This article explores how stars celebrate their furry companions—and how you can emulate their style with accessible yet elegant pet-inspired pieces.
1. Boucheron’s Iconic Cat Rings: A Tribute to Feline Royalty
The Wladimir Collection: Where Heritage Meets Whiskers
French luxury house Boucheron immortalized its beloved boutique cat, Wladimir, in a jewelry line that captures feline grace in diamonds and gold. Key designs include:

- Wladimir Novelties: Inspired by the brand’s real-life Persian cat, these pieces feature hyper-realistic details, from diamond-studded fur to lifelike eyes.
Why It Resonates: Boucheron’s Creative Director, Claire Chosen, emphasized capturing the “talismanic” bond between pets and owners—transforming cats into protectors and style statements.
For Pet Lovers: Boucheron’s Quatre Radiant Edition offers a more accessible entry point with geometric motifs that echo its animalier designs.
