Flora is a timeless theme in jewellery creations, interpreted in a myriad ways. Some high jewellery designs inspired by flora embrace realism with vivid detail while others push abstract expression to its limits. A few use simple lines to outline unique plant forms while others, with exceptional skill, delicately render botanical textures.
Despite how common flora is as a theme, its rendering is far from mundane. Here, the high jewellery collections and pieces that bloom freshly into the new year, from Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chopard and more, as featured in our January 2024 issue, titled The Fresh Issue.
