With the Nagaur necklace the design studio celebrates the magnificent splendour of the state regalia worn by the Great Moghuls. These impressive pieces, originally intended for men, embellished their ceremonial dress and testified to their great deeds.
The Maison focuses on returning to the form and materials traditionally used: gold, diamonds and pearls. It adds its own touch of modernity with rock crystal, which represents the contours of the citadel of Ahhichatragarh.
In order not to lose any tradition, the Maison has taken the number 7, a sacred number for Indians, to offer a seven strand necklace, with seven rows of Japanese pearls, traditionally strung on silk thread. Small diamond-set cylinders like rays of light are added to this while a diamond-studded roundel unites the central piece with its central motif. The whole piece is arranged around a pool in a 2 carat diamond cushion, a princely miracle in the middle of the desert.
Also in Boucheron’s tradition, Nagaur can be worn in 3 different ways: with or without the tassel and central motif. Over and above the technical prowess, the romanticism of the piece lies in its rock crystal heart filled with sand from the Thar Desert, as if fixed for ever in the hollow of this precious talisman.
