When you’re an ambassador for one of France’s greatest luxury jewelers, certain privileges apply—aside from adornment in rose gold watches and salamander pavé rings. Boucheron’s enigmatic CEO, Jean-Christophe Bedos, invited me to put together a dinner party within the dining salon atop the company’s flagship on 26 Place Vendôme last night, with one caveat: My guests were to arrive naked. Naked, that is, of jewelry (except for wedding rings). Friends such as Susan and Alan Casden, Tatiana and Serge Sorokko, Barbara de Portago, and Anne Crawford arrived to trays of sparkling diamond chokers, sapphire bracelets, and emerald sautoirs, which they were invited to wear. Thus festooned, they sat down to dinner and listened to Jean-Christophe’s entertaining tales of Napoleon’s mistress, the Countess of Castiglione, who is said to haunt the jeweler’s workrooms.
