Delicately veined leaves with gently swaying diamond accents and bold faux emeralds come alive on a slinky gold snake chain. The sense of movement in this design is characteristic of pieces by Marcel Boucher, a French jeweler who worked for Cartier in Paris, then in New York where he eventually began his own little company in 1937. Merci, Monsieur Boucher. J'adore!

The veins of a leaf serve a circulatory function similar to our own veins, by transporting water and nutrients around the body of the plant. Veins in a leaf also help provide structure, lest the leaf simply flop over on itself!
