It’s said that there’s a magnetic connection between chicks and chocolate. French jeweler Boucheron agrees, and has come up with a new line of ready-to-wear jewelry, “L’eau a la Bouche,” to entice those chocaholics out there while simultaneously paying homage to that most cherished confectionary. “L’eau a la Bouche” includes a selection as diverse as the contents of a Godiva praline box, and the choosing process will require just as much concentration and contemplation — unless you’re planning to grab the entire assortment all at once. To choose from, there’s a lush Fondant ring that drips nicely over your fingers and is reminiscent of Moschino‘s chocolate sauce bag. There’s a scrumptious Croquant version in the shape of a half-eaten piece of chocolate complete with a set of tasty earrings. Boucheron’s signature design feature the “Bouche” (or “mouth” as the English translation reads) is present here too, along with various pendants and necklaces. Boucheron’s jewelers achieve the velvety cocoa effect by employing a secret new technique for treating gold, which makes this line just as sumptuous as real chocolate. What flavor!
