Boucheron Paris Untreated Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet
$135,000
Combining fluidity and heft, this visually complex bracelet by Boucheron Paris embodies a streamlined mid-century aesthetic. Using alternating rows of richly-hued untreated blue sapphires and graduating diamond baguettes, Boucheron Paris employs the geometric interplay of intersecting arcs and dots to create a wearable modernist tableau in gemstones and platinum.

Since the firm’s founding in 1858, Boucheron designers have been at the forefront of invention and design, leading with work like a Japanese-inspired peacock feather necklace (1878 Gold Medal), a woven gold and diamond scarf (1883), and the rediscovery of plique-à-jour enamel (patented in 1864).
