The design of the necklace is inspired by fractal, infinitely complex and never-ending patterns, which are the same on different scales. Desa Unicum

The design of the necklace is inspired by fractal, infinitely complex and never-ending patterns, which are the same on different scales.

They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in a continuous feedback loop and can be seen in trees, rivers, coastlines, mountains, clouds, and shells.

This necklace was named Julia to commemorate the French mathematician Gaston Julia, whose work describes the complex process of fractal formation. Desa Unicum

Desa Unicum said: "These are the forms that can be seen in fern leaves or Roman cauliflower. Reproducing this structure is very time-consuming and difficult."

"When designing'Julia', I did not consider luxury, but the technical requirements and the number of gems involved, which may make it one of the most expensive necklaces Boucheron has ever produced," Newson told The New York Times Style magazine.

Boucheron jewelry usually costs millions of euros.

If the value of a necklace designed by Newson exceeds the estimate of 20-25 million zlotys, it may exceed this figure.
