Boucheron’s Inspiria collection, composed of 20 necklaces each inspired by a Cirque du Soleil show, is featured in an exclusive presentation at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts until August 29, 2010.

Inspiria is the story of the encounter between two universes: the Cirque du Soleil and the House of Boucheron. Guy Laliberté, founder of the Cirque du Soleil and Jean-Christophe Bédos, CEO of Boucheron, set out to celebrate 25 years of stunning shows. The necklaces, set with precious multi-coloured stones, are presented at the Museum of Fine Arts in a striking, modern and contemporary manner, with lighting contributing to underline their shine. Original gouache drawings and descriptive videos of the making and inspiration of each creation accompany their presentation.

Boucheron has chosen to remit a percentage of the sales generated by the Inspiria collection to ONE DROP, an initiative of Guy Laliberté, Founder of Cirque du Soleil. Created in 2007, the mission of ONE DROP is to fight poverty by providing access to water and by raising everyone’s awareness about water issues through its unique approach based on popular education and social art.
