|二十世紀早期祖母綠配鑽石項鏈,Boucheron,約1920年代鑽石及祖母綠共重約10.15及15.75克拉,長度44.3厘米BOUCHERON Founded in Paris in 1858 by Frédéric Boucheron, the house was in the vanguard of jewellers to occupy the now-fabled Place Vendôme, settling at number 26 which remains the house's global HQ to this day. Royal Commissions from the Russian courts, Indian Maharajahs and European palaces ensued and by the early 1900s, the house already had a presence in London, New York and Moscow. After Frédéric's death in 1902, the house remained in Boucheron family hands for almost a century and is today owned by PPR who have continued the international expansion and boundary-pushing ethos, be it through the albeit brief appointment of Solange Azagury-Partidge as Creative Director, collaborations with rising designers such as Shaun Leane, or with high profile stars such as Alexander McQueen. 寶詩龍（Boucheron）由Frédéric Boucheron在1858年創立於巴 黎，是最早一批在傳奇Vendome廣場開店的珠寶商，店址位於26 號，至今仍是寶詩龍（Boucheron）的全球總部。因有俄羅斯，印 度及歐洲皇室貴族的訂做生意支持，早在1900年代初，已在倫敦， 紐約和莫斯科設立了分店。Frédéric於1902年去世，品牌當時已在寶詩龍（Boucheron）家族 手中有近百年歷史，時至今天，品牌現已屬PPR旗下，並繼續拓展 國際市場，尋求突破，其中包括通過任命索朗芝•阿薩古力•帕特 裡奇（Solange Azagury-Partidge）擔任創意總監，與肖恩•利恩 （Shaun Leane）等新興設計師,及與亞歷山大•麥昆（Alexander McQueen）等知名明星合作。
