Paris luxury jeweler Boucheron immortalizes Ladurée macarons in part of this year’s collection titled “Gaieté Parisienne” (Parisian Joy) with their new line, Gourmandise, which includes Tentation Macarons rings, pendants, necklaces and earings.
It’s modern, 21st. century and someone has already taken a bite out of each macaron as you can see from the teeth marks in the pictures.
