Specialist note

As part of the iconic 'Inspiria' collection developed by Maison Boucheron in collaboration with Guy Laliberté founder of the Cirque du Soleil, this exuberant 'Saltimbanco' brooch/necklace typifies the jewels created during this partnership.

Designed to celebrate both Boucheron's 150th anniversary and 25 years of Cirque du Soleil performances, the jewels are the sculptural embodiment of twenty famous acts from the circus's repertoire; with only two of each model produced in each case.
