This range of bejewelled animals comes from Boucheron’s Extravagant Bestiary range. Founded by Frederic Boucheron in 1858, The House of Boucheron has over the years set the global standard in fine jewellery, watches, and now perfume. They also invented an internationally renowned and employed method of classifying diamonds – B.I.R.D [Boucheron International Rating of Diamonds] – which asseses any stone’s value against two key criteria: cut and clarity. Now owned by the PPR Group [as are Gucci and YSL], and with 34 stores globally - from Paris to Osaka - it doesn’t look like the Boucheron dynasty will be fading anytime soon…

Prices in this range fluctuate between £1,550 and £29,700, and the featured chameleon brooch comes in at a cool £14,400.
