Enchanting Pastel Rhinestone Collar by Boucher

An enchanting Boucher choker with a dazzling collar of pastel-colored rhinestones. The collar is a garland of pale pink leaves and soft yellow flowers set in rhodium-plated metal. A smattering of deep purple and pale yellow square-cut stones provide contrast. The collar is suspended on a chain of purple rhinestone-set links. So lovely, showing all the tender colors of early Spring flowers. The stones are prong-set, and the articulated collar lays nicely over the collarbone. This necklace fastens with a pretty white rhinestone buckle clasp. The piece is signed "Boucher" and bears the design number 6211. Spring bride, that's all I am saying. Circa 1950.
