Long considered to be the most regal of birds, the peacock is famed for the male's arresting plumage of wispy, jewel-toned feathers. The most aristocratic families, especially during the Victorian era, kept peacocks in their estate gardens, and decorated their homes and themselves with the bird's rare, exotic colored plumage.

Using the delicate peacock feather as inspiration, Boucheron Paris, one of France's most treasured jewelers, has created the ultimate accessory as part of its Trouble Désir collection, in the form of a daring, awe-inspiring necklace. The Plume de Paon, which literally translates as peacock feather, is not for the faint of heart. Bold sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds encrust the entire length of thecollier, even the back.

Crafted to resemble a peacock feather softly dangling from the neck, Boucheron's surprisingly supple and lightweight Plume de Paon starts with a teardrop-shaped diamond designed to resemble the base of a feather. As the white-gold Plume de Paon encircles the neck, 1,001 jeweled wisps appear and gradually swell into the long, curling branches of the feather. The pavé-set ...
... stones, in brilliant purples, blues, greens, yellows, and oranges grace the plume, building in variety and imparting increasing amounts of sparkle. Finally, the true show-stopper remains the eye of the feather: a jaw-dropping 40-karat Sri Lankan blue sapphire, enclosed by hot-pink stones.

Slated to become an instant conversation-starter, Boucheron's Plume de Paon radiates style and confidence. Unique and impeccably crafted, it is a true jewelry masterpiece, guaranteed to be passed down through the ages.
