Cascade – waterfall When Claire Choisne looked at this waterfall, she saw a necklace coursing down the body. Measuring 148 centime- tres, this white gold and diamond piece is the longest ever made in Boucheron’s ateliers. “Cascade” is a wellspring of surprises, metamorphosing into a shorter necklace once two detachable sections are transformed into earrings. Bouche- ron’s workshops stayed true to the source of inspiration by crafting a piece as fine as a filament. Given its oversize dimensions, this called for the utmost precision and patience. With 1816 diamonds of different sizes along its length, “Cascade” is painstakingly set in a single articulated row to give it a beautiful suppleness and strikingly realistic fall. Necklace paved with diamonds, in white gold. Necklace made in the tradition of Boucheron multi-wear pieces, con- vertible into a pair of earrings. 3000 hours of craftmanship. Simply Abu Dhabi | 191
