7 Floral Jewellery Collections That Are Actually Groundbreaking

Even after a couple of decades, The Devil Wears Prada still lives in our heads rent-free, leaving us grappling with more than a few existential questions. What does one do when ambition comes at too high a cost? Does work-life balance exist? And more importantly, are florals for spring not groundbreaking? With the sequel hitting the theatres this week, we scour the internet for flower-inspired jewellery creations that could turn Miranda Priestly’s pursed lips into a subtle smile. From innovative designs to rare gemstones, these jewellery collections not only rely on the references but also elevate them.

FIOREVER BY BVLGARI

Bvlgari turns ancient Rome’s coronae, often made of garlands and wreaths, into bejewelled accoutrements in Fiorever. The collection, whose name is a combination of ‘fiore’ and ‘forever’, demonstrates the house’s endless fascination with its heritage. Crafted in gold with diamonds, the flower motif serves as a modern talisman of joy and passion.

CAROLINE’S GARDEN BY CHOPARD

Nature holds a special place in Caroline Scheufele’s heart. The Caroline’s Garden collection says as much. Celebrating the earth’s exuberance, the co-president and artistic director of Chopard presents a series of cocktail rings boasting bloom-inspired designs. The fine flowers here are brought to life by sapphires, mandarin garnets, tanzanites, emeralds, or tsavorites.

DIORETTE BY DIOR

Inspired by the lush greenery surrounding Milly-la-Forêt, Dior has enriched its Diorette collection with pieces evoking the beauty of meadows. Here, the feminine daisy blooms amid a row of pearls alongside symbolic motifs, including the four-leaf clover and the ladybird. There is also a solitaire version, paved with diamonds and set on a fine yellow or rose gold chain.

LILY CLUSTER BY HARRY WINSTON

The graceful lily has become a staple at Harry Winston since its first appearance in the early 1940s. Its delicate nature lays the foundation for one of the house’s most beloved collections: Lily Cluster. Crafted in platinum, yellow or rose gold, the flower embodies soft femininity as it is frequently captured mid-bloom. The diamond-studded, interlacing petals amplify the idea.

COLOR BLOSSOM BY LOUIS VUITTON

Louis Vuitton brought some colours to the jewellery scene when it launched Color Blossom in 2015. Taking cues from the iconic Monogram flowers, the collection stands apart for the myriad of vivid stones that come in tow. The recent additions—all 28 of them—do not stray from the blueprint. More interestingly, the collection brings the unique, navy-blue sodalite into play.

PIAGET ROSE BY PIAGET

The love affair between Piaget and the romantic rose can be traced back to Yves Piaget. His passion for it had led him to many places, including the 1976 Geneva International Competition of New Roses, for which he served as a jury member. Today, the Piaget Rose collection has evolved beyond its classic form—sculpted, open-worked, and more.

FLEURS D’HAWAÏ BY VAN CLEEF & ARPELS

It is no secret that Van Cleef & Arpels has an avid interest in the metamorphosis of nature. From the Alhambra to the Frivole, the house’s catalogue brims with floral jewellery. Another collection deserving its time in the sun is Fleurs d’Hawaï. Expressing the hues of a vibrant garden, the corollas here are embellished with coloured stones like amethyst and rhodolite.
