The House of Boucheron – Something old, something new…0

The House of Boucheron was founded in 1858, and are creating some exquisite new timeless bejeweled pieces. It’s one of my personal favorite jewelery designers and I can’t wait for the day when I can slip one of their diamonds on my finger.

They were the first jeweler to move to the now famous Place Vendôme in Paris, where legend has it he chose 26 Place Vendôme where Boucheron remains to this day, because it was the sunniest corner of the square. He believed that the diamonds in the windows would sparkle all the more brilliantly. As a woman, like the thought of sparkling diamonds very much.

You now don’t need to jump on the Eurostar to go to Paris to see Mr Boucheron to get your jewelery custom made (yes, they do custom make if you need something special). They in fact opened a boutique in Selfridges, London on 1st June.

Now, back to where I was going with the heading of this blog…Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…
I am all for getting everything I need in one place so if you are getting married soon, I say Boucheron would be the best place to get all of the above. Something old, well, they were founded 150 years ago so you can’t argue ‘the old’. Something new, that one speaks for itself; you are buying a new piece. Something borrowed, you will have to purchase it on your credit card so it’s definitely borrowed. Something blue, as they custom make items you can go for a beautiful blue sapphire or maybe they can find you one of those elusive blue diamonds.

See, there was system to my madness.

One day, one day…
