A three-boule set that's unique in the world
With a strong family history and internationally recognised know-how, two outstanding brands have come together to design a product that is truly exceptional: a 3-boules set that is the only one of its kind in the world, especially for amateur collectors, petanque fans and lovers of silverware. A bold and highly unusual work, fruit of a collaboration between the iconic OBUT® brand and the prestigious Maison TOURNAIRE jeweller's.

Obut know-how for an exceptional set of boules
The Alchimie boules were born of the expertise of the OBUT brand, accumulated over 60 years of experience and unequalled technological know-how.
The family business has taken an important new direction in recent years: production of its boules is now an industrial process, subject to rigorous controls that guarantee outstanding quality.
The creativity and excellence of the Maison Tournaire
Over the last 40 years or more, Philippe Tournaire has established his own rules of harmony: architecture, symbolism, assemblies of colours, perfection in detail.
He has succeeded in creating his own style, a strong and unique TOURNAIRE world. This is how Philippe Tournaire has built up his know-how, patiently, using every ounce of his curiosity and instinct.
Philippe Tournaire has passed on his passion and craft to his son Mathieu, who has been carrying on the family tradition for several years already. Now the artistic director of the Maison TOURNAIRE, he embodies its heritage.
The excellence and craftsmanship of these two family firms...
have produced an exceptional piece: a prestigious 3-boule set, decorated with 180 grammes of gold and set with over 12 carats of diamonds, accompanied by a 55 g gold jack inset with diamonds. The three boules are decorated with lines of squares, circles and triangles marked out in diamonds. An exceptional set, named "Alchimie", valued at 100,000 Euros.
The Maison Tournaire's iconic "Trilogie Alchimie" collection represents the stages of life: the past, the present and the future. These universal symbolism links the past represented by the solid square, the present by the triangle, and finally the circle of fullness, completion, the future... This collection brings together the different elements that create the alchemy of life. And that is why, naturally, the symbol of the alchemy trilogy was chosen for this collaboration.
