Filmed over six months, the documentary captures the work, expertise and exquisite craftsmanship that goes into making Boodles' fine jewellery. The programme follows the creation of the Boodles Emerald 'Greenfire' necklace, from loose stones, to design, creation and launch; shadowing the four Directors, Nicholas, Michael, Jody and James each step of the way.
A British family business, founded over 200 years ago, Boodles aims to create beautiful, unique and contemporary jewellery designs with an awareness of fashion and a sense of adventure and fun.
Jody Wainwright (Boodles Director and Head of Stone Sourcing), who features in the programme, commented:
'We are delighted to be sharing our story through this documentary and hope that it will provide an interesting insight into the, sometimes mysterious, world of fine jewellery. Our 'Greenfire' suite, created using the finest emeralds from the Colombian Muzo mines, is one of the most ambitious and valuable collections that we have embarked upon, so we were thrilled that Channel 4 were there to capture our journey.'
Overall, the film captures the Boodles directors and staff as they strive for perfection in everything they do… with a few glamorous parties and some celebrity friends thrown in…
