During February Couture Week in Paris another of the high jewellery brands showing its latest bejewelled creations at its flagship boutique on Place Vendôme was Boucheron, which chose to present a modern take on its iconic Serpent theme. Far from the sharp fangs and menacing venom of earlier incarnations of the snake, the Serpent Bohème is a sweet, totally wearable collection that expands on pieces from the house's history, including the scaly Serpent rings studded with diamonds from 1968. The jewelled safety pin in yellow gold and white diamonds, which clasps the necklaces, is a delight in its own right and can be detached to hold the pendants as a brooch.
