Downsizing has never looked so elegant. Boucheron is now offering thinner versions of its Quatre Radiant Edition rings. Available in yellow gold, pink gold, and white gold, the pared down pieces still wow with the collection’s signature monochromatic mix of metal designs — including the clou de Paris and grosgrain motifs — but allow for a more discreet level of chic. They are nearly half the size of the original ring. While the diamond carats are also halved in the new, slimmer style, 33 round, pavé-set stones provide ample twinkle.
