The Million Pound Necklace: Inside Boodles (2014x16)

Exibido em:: Mar 23, 2014

A look into the world of one of Britain's most exclusive jewellers, Boodles, as the family-run business that has been going for over 200 years, creates its most valuable collection of jewellery to date. Boodles operates in a world of celebrity clients and super-wealthy diamond connoisseurs. Their jewellery is as likely to be seen on the red carpet as at exclusive high society balls. The ambition is for their product to be perfectly pitched and the service flawless. But Boodles want to aim even higher, and it's up to company director Jody Wainwright to get them there. The programme follows Jody and the business throughout the production and launch of Greenfire, a collection of jewellery made from 18 rare Columbian emeralds. Meticulously hand-crafted, this £2.8 million suite of jewellery includes matching earrings, pendant, bracelet, rings, and, as its centrepiece, an emerald necklace set with over 1300 diamonds and worth £1 million. It is the firm's most ambitious project ever.
