Boucheron’s 18k white gold, multicolored sapphire, emerald, ruby and diamond necklace, price available upon request, at Boucheron, San Francisco, 800.894.8077, boucheron.com.

All That Glitters

To celebrate a big birthday, Boucheron created an especially tasty treat.

To commemorate its 150th anniversary, Boucheron has pulled out every conceivable stop, unveiling a treasure trove chock-full of exquisitely ornate, one-of-a-kind pieces. For one such creation, its over-the-top Gourmand necklace, the house dove into the jeweled equivalent of a bowl of lusciously ripe fruit.

Cascading sapphires play the lead role in the white gold stunner—a brilliant, multicarat mix of pink, mauve and orange-yellow stones. Atop emerald drops that glisten like tiny leaves on a strawberry are rubies, diamonds and still more orange-yellow sapphires. With an adornment this spectacular, no self-respecting hedonist could help but indulge.
