FLOWER-INSPIRED GEMOLOGUE JEWELLERY EDIT
Flowers have inspired beautiful jewelry designs for centuries. It’s quite remarkable how jewelers have immortalized the delicate, fleeting beauty of flowers in bloom in gold and gemstones. Some of my recent favorites are here, especially Boucheron’s floral ring rendered in real petals that are treated and made into everlasting petals.

Speak flowers to me! What message does this gorgeous jewel convey to you? Let me know in comments!
In the Victorian era, flowers were primarily used to express what couldn’t be spoken aloud ? In a sort of silent dialogue, they were used to answer “yes” or “no” questions. A “yes” answer came when flowers were handed over with the right hand and if the left hand was used, the answer was “no.” I don’t know about you, but looking at this stunning necklace it’s needless to say anything… ?

I DO! My love for flowers is forever… Just like diamonds ? What is your take on flower-inspired jewels?
CONFESSION: At the civil ceremony my fiancé wore a flower, which appeared in my bridal bouquet, in his button-hole. I discovered recently that this stems from the Medieval tradition of wearing his Lady’s colours, as a declaration of his love. The Forget-Me-Not @harrywinston collection is like a subtle expression of my affection for jewels!

Beautiful jewels make my heart blossom. What’s your favourite flower and why?
My mum loves orchids and it always makes me smile seeing her talk to them as if they were actual family members. Apparently feeling the love makes them bloom. Just like us humans! Orchids are said to represent love, luxury, beauty and strength. These stunning earrings evoke the exact same qualities within me. It makes me so proud to be chosen as the face of the @silviafurmanovich collection they come from.

Jardin de Milly-la-Forêt is my favourite @Dior collection ever. A few times it even appeared in my dreams. Designs inspired by the favourite garden of Monsieur Dior himself deliver a vivid and colourful story from the artist’s life.

Life is too short not to wear beautiful jewellery ? Do you prefer delicate pieces or the ones that make a statement?
Like an opulent baroque painting, the form of @bibivandervelden choker makes an impression of exuberance and grandeur. Gracefully winding around the neck it delights with the delicately crafted elements, yellow gold tulip and blackened silver ants crawling around its stem. Memento Mori collection is a the most elegant visual reminder to enjoy life!

Flowers inspire growth and reconnection with the beauty surrounding us. How do you stay connected to nature these days?
The beautiful scents and petals of flowers have been attracting insects for over millions of years. Have you ever wondered why humans find them equally luring? ? It might be the symmetrical form, soft lines and bright shades of flowers petals! Whatever the reason, blossoms have been always deeply significant to us on all level: aesthetical, cultural and religious.

Staying connected is so important to me during this unusual period. With many of us self-isolating and working from home I am looking to the future with optimism and hope ? Reminiscing my joyful jewellery memories I would like to share them with you. Here’s the glimpse of my work in Brazil. In my imagination I like to come back to these hot summer days, the warm touch of the Sun on my skin and the luring scent of evergreen plants surrounding me ☀️ With my floral jewels all the sensations become real. I don’t even have to close my eyes.
