Vertu Phones For Boucheron's 150th Anniversary

As we saw a couple months ago, to celebrate Boucheron's 150th anniversary, the jeweler is partnering with other companies to create some amazing pieces. Two years ago Boucheron and luxury phone maker Vertu created extravagant bejeweled snake phones. The seven signature phones each contain 388 mechanical parts and each has a removable jeweled charm. Each has a gold case and a different design of pavé jewels. No word on the price yet but they are assumed to be into the six figures at least.

The latest sport to get the high-end jewelry treatment is rugby. To celebrate the World Rugby Cup, Boucheron has created a special collection of jewelry inspired by rugby. Fashion Week Daily reports that the designs were made for for "L'Art Emmêlé 2007," a series of events organized around an art exhibition featuring pieces inspired by rugby. The designs include a version of Boucheron's MEC watch in pink gold with a rugby ball and a Diablotine women's ring in pink gold and green tourmaline which has been reshaped into a rugby ball. The rugby-inspired pieces will be auctioned off on October 18 at a gala dinner to benefit the Laureus Foundation, a non-profit organization that uses sports to help take on social issues.

Boucheron for Vertu Phones

They don't make them like this in the U.S. These crazy and beautiful phones are the Vertu phones created by Boucheron are going on sale in India. The phones feature ornate jeweled snakes, your choice of either a diamond-studded cobra or a python. Other phones in the Vertu Signature Diamond Collection come in gold and diamonds but only the Boucheron phones feature the snakes. The phone on the left is the limited edition Signature Cobra which sells for $350,000 and will only be cast in 8 pieces. I know, I know, it's wasteful, but wouldn't this be the ultimate phone to be carried by an villainess in a superhero movie?

We mentioned a while back that David Beckham was getting a Rolls Royce Phantom for Christmas. What did he get Mrs. Becks? Female First says that David Beckham bought her a £1.2 million ruby and diamond necklace for Christmas. Victoria was reportedly thrilled with the Boucheron pendant which features large rubies and diamonds hanging on a ruby chain. Sounds like it weighs as much as the lady who will be wearing it.
