Created in 1945, the ‘Palmettes’ bracelets and necklaces are iconic designs from the House of Boucheron in the immediate post-war period. They are also a magnificent example of the revival of designs from the Atelier Georges Lenfant for the Parisian jewellery houses on the Place Vendôme, following the upheavals of recent years.
