Imitation is the best form of flattery they say. But not always, is what we say. Take the Vertu Signature Boucheron phone for instance. This $310,000 worth limited edition piece has got itself a cheap rip-off. The out-of-reach phone has now been made available (and not in a good way) to all at a very low price of $700. After all, it isn’t the original piece that we all fell in love with instantly.
The duplicate Vertu Boucheron tries to impersonate the original in every possible way, of course minus the class and elegance characteristic to the handset. There are no real diamond or rubies but cheap stones that try to remain as close they can to the real play of colors.

Boucheron is a jewelry brand covered on this webpage on more occasions than one. And there is a reason why. We like the delicacy that precious fashion accessories are treated with to make your look complete. This time it is a lovely bracelet that caught our eye. Plus with a name like Delilah, you can very well expect something that isn’t less than spectacular.
Made by braiding yellow gold in chain like patterns, this one is both trendy and very original. Then it also has a barrette and fringe that are set stunningly with some 70 sparkling diamonds.

Watchmaker Boucheron is out with first of its three women’s Bestiary Ronde Collection. And trust us when we say, every piece in their lines is as exquisite as the other. Every model comes in two options with the difference being in more or less decoration. Yep, you can see in the picture above how the decorative chameleon can be had all by itself as well as when partially hidden behind a foliage of precious stones.
Running on a GP 4000 automatic movement, the watches shown above have been designed by Girard Perregaux. And his creativity has kept the traditional seconds hand away and replaced it with a revolving disc. If you look close, there is a small fly that moves around each minute just managing to escape the traps of the chameleon’s sticky tongue.

The picture says it better than a thousand words could. Created for the Parisian jewelery house Boucheron for their 150th anniversary, the Vertu looks like a million bucks! The single edition Vertu Boucheron 150 looks more like a dazzling piece of gold jewelery that you would audaciously hang around your neck. Viciously cut in angles like a precious stone, the solid gold Vertu Boucheron is a tribute to both the brands. Frank Nuovo, principal designer for Vertu, states that the styling of the phone is intended to go beyond all expectations in creating the most stunning design a phone has carried to date.
The designer attempted, and succeeded fabulously, in creating the sparkling visual image of precious stones by using metal instead. The Vertu Boucheron 150 comes housed in a Noce Pedullo walnut tree wooden case made by Reuge which plays the Vertu ringtone as you open it.

Having carved snakes on cell phones, Jeweler Boucheron is now showing an admiration for frogs on watches. The limited edition Boucheron Bestiaire timepieces are produced in counted eight-pieces and come slapped with 18K white gold. Measuring 42mm, the watch is water resistant to 50 meters bearing a white mother-of-pearl dial with the movement of a manual-wind Tourbillon well defined by 17 jewels. Available in two editions, one with 282 rubies, sapphires and multicolored tsavorites (weighing 7.7 carats), and other with 195 rubies, sapphires and multicolored tsavorites (weighing 3.3 carats.), it is a complete form of luxury that you can ever flaunt via a timepiece.
