One can wonder if the 70’s was the most inspired decade in history. In any case, it’s a rich source of inspiration from which fashion Maisons have no hesitation in tapping into. This week, Boucheron is revisiting Serpent Bohème, its best-seller created in 1974. The Serpent Bohème sautoir, made of a link chain and a big pendant, amplifies the iconic drop to form a floral motif, adorned by cabochon-cut onyx and coral. The gold is meticulously crafted to match the snake’s skin as closely as possible. Boucheron also uses a special technique: delicate gold beads are made to surround the diamond-paved drop, adding extra shine to the pieces.
