Boucheron

When it comes to create opulent pieces of jewelry, The House of Boucheron is one of the best in the world! From it's founding, in 1858, by Frédéric Boucheron, this house has spread all over the world, while decorating queens, tsars and maharajas on the way. Except for jewelry, Boucheron also creates watches and perfumes, but it's the jewelry I'll be showing you pictures of today!

Even though I love looking at all these lavish pieces, marveling at how something like this can be created, I have to admit I prefer the jewelry with only (or almost only) clear diamonds the most. Not that I would say no to any of the colorful ones. But still...I did however fall completely in love with the necklace in the two bottom pictures! It's called "Le Double Jeu", and as you can see the buds of the flowers can be opened and closed. It was inspired by a flower called "The Queen of the Night". This flower only opens up at night, and closes it's petals again at dawn. As I prefer the night before the day I would love to be able to wear this!
