Materials and Features:

• Artisan Flower of the Month Architecture: A dimensional, high-relief "Chrysanthemum" design featuring multiple tiers of layered, swept petals. This specialized 1962 production is a centerpiece of Boucher’s most collectible archival series.

• Genuine Cultured Pearl Center: Features a hand-selected iridescent cultured pearl with a rich champagne luster. Unlike the faux pearls found on common imitations, this genuine biological gem provides a sophisticated depth and light-diffusing glow.

• Heavy-Gauge Gold Metallurgy: Finished in a rich gold-tone plating with a specialized brushed texture on the interior petals and high-polish accents on the tips. This multi-tonal contrast is a hallmark of Marcel Boucher’s fine-jewelry heritage.

• High-Relief Bark-Textured Reverse: The backplate and stem feature a deep-etched, organic "bark" texture. This hardware defense adds structural weight and provides an archival finish that protects the gold plating from friction wear.

• Precision Mechanical Findings: Equipped with a high-tension roll-over safety clasp and a reinforced pin bar, ensuring the substantial 16g weight remains securely balanced on the garment.
