Boucheron celebrates the revival of Serpent collection

July 2010

The snake has been one of Boucheron’s favorite “Muses” since the House’s creation in 1858.

The intricate yellow or white gold pieces are sculpted to recreate the textured feel of a serpent’s scales and are enticing to the touch. The evocative circular Serpent design curls round to finish in a pear shaped “head” that sparkles with dedicately set round diamonds.

Boucheron celebrates the revival of Serpent collection

The rich line consists of fourteen pieces including four rings, two pairs of earrings, bracelets, pendants and necklaces. To celebrate the come back of this anchor line, Boucheron has also decided to craft an exclusive re-issue of a two headed serpent bangle first designed by the brand’s artisans in the 1970’s.
