Boucheron Christmas Follies

The Boucheron Web site offers holiday e-greetings with cute cards to send to all you friends. For every 10 cards sent, Boucheron will donate 1€ to SOS Village d'Enfants, an organization that provides a family-style environment to children who have lost their parents or can no longer live with them.

So go send some holiday cheer and help kids in the process.

Fractal Jewelry

This is a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry by Boucheron and Australian-born designer Marc Newson. It took 1500 hours to complete and contains approximately 2000 diamonds and sapphires. I am curious about the total carat weight (sapphires range from 0.84 to 2.50 carats) and the price of this baby, but as of this moment, Boucheron has not supplied that info. I was told they don't give prices on the haute-joaillerie.

But suppose I wanted to buy it? Yeah, right. :)

Boucheron Macarons

Boucheron has an exuberant new collection for 2009 called Gaité Parisienne. There are a number of gorgeously elaborate gem-embellished pieces, but my favorites are these cute little replicas of the delicious French cookie, the macaron. They even have bite marks, revealing the "filling."


Although not listed now, I would imagine the whole Gaité Parisienne line will be available at Boucheron.com shortly.

A Very Boucheron Christmas

Boucheron is celebrating its 150th year by giving away fabulous Boucheron jewelry, watches, and fragrance. All you need to do is pick an item you want and place it under their virtual Christmas Tree.

The party starts today, Monday, November 24th and concludes December 19th, after which time Boucheron will choose, by random drawing, the lucky winner of one of sixteen Boucheron star products.

Wanna see some of the gifts you can choose from? Well looky below. I'm rather fond of the little porcupine dude with ruby eyes. Diamond rings and necklaces too. Heck, I want it all!

So what are you waiting for? Go to Boucheron and put your heart's desire under their tree. Who knows - it may someday be yours!
