When Tiffany and Co. released their Paper Flowers collection earlier this year, it reignited our love for floral and plant themed jewellery.
Drawing inspiration from nature is by no means new nor groundbreaking, but flowers, noted for their eternal feminine feel, will never go out of style. Whether they come on dresses or in the shape of jewellery, floral is an evergreen design.
And so to satiate this desire, we have rounded up six different pieces that celebrates the best of nature.

Cactus de Cartier ring, $110,000

Unlike roses and other flowers that are the typical focal point of most plant-inspired jewellery, Cartier draws inspiration from the cactus flower.
Perhaps hinting at the collection being an evening accessory piece (because the cactus blooms at night), the collection takes a unique approach at interpreting the prickly succulent with an opulent use of materials like golds, diamonds, emeralds and carnelians.

The Hortensia range pays homage to Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, and draws inspiration from the hydrangea flower.
Available in many hues like the hydrangea, this naturalistic collection is colourful and undeniably feminine.

Started since the 1970s, the Rose de Noël series celebrates the joyous bloom of the Christmas Rose, a flower that blossoms in the frigid midwinter.
And the Rose de Noel is a part of the larger Flora series of this French jeweller, so if you love your floral jewellery there are other collections available.

An Italian brand with over 130 years of heritage and craftsmanship, Fiore di Bvlgari essentialises the spirit of a single flower.
In a tribute to wildflowers, the collection of necklaces celebrates the grace and sentimentality of the youth through its iterations made with precious stones like diamonds, rubies and aquamarines.
Piaget rose bracelet, price available in store

Piaget’s flower is the rose. Not only is it the favourite flower of the company president, Yves Piaget, the Piaget Rose has been a popular line for the brand since its inception in the 1960s.
If you love the bloom as much as they do, then this collection is suited for you as the rose, in its many facets, is celebrated here.

The Hong Kong-based jeweller, who started the brand just last year, uses the rose as a metaphor to symbolise the strength, sophistication and elegance of a woman in her Lady Rose line.
If you would like to get her designs, she will be showcasing and selling them at the Jeweluxe event at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza from the 17 Oct to 21 Oct. If not, you would have to get her creations at stockists in Hong Kong, Japan and London.
