When it comes to Spring/Summer fashion, florals never fail us. And this year, adorning the face, body and hair with floral themed jewellery is one of the hottest trends.
It would be folly; however, to assume that floral jewellery and accessories was a thing of was the contemporary world. Dating back to the ancient years, floral jewellery and adornments have traditionally been worn in Indian weddings, as well as being used as part of the ceremony itself. In more recent years, this trend has been adopted by the West, with summer brides opting for floral headpieces in line with the bohemian chic style.
Due to extensive depiction of flower jewellery by celebrities, the trend has slowly made a come back with luxury jewellery brands experimenting with a variety of shapes, styles and materials.
From the ethereal and feminine designs of <a href="https://int.piaget.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Piaget</a>’s Rose collection to <a href="https://www.swarovski.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Swarovski</a>’s contemporary and statement-making styles, we have pulled together a roundup of our favourite jewellery picks to help inspire your style this season.

Spruce up your summer ensemble with floral jewellery

Pouty petals and flirty foliage: Spruce up your summer ensembles with floral jewellery

High joaillerie connoisseurs had something of a rare treat last month April when historic 1925 Van Cleef &amp; Arpels bracelet surfaced at Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite Sale in Hong Kong.
Valued at some HK$ 6,600,000 – 8,500,000, the wide diamond bracelet came decorated with five quatrefoil motifs in rubies and onyx, alternating with Egyptian lotus motifs set with emeralds and sapphires, mounted in platinum. Serving as a tabula rasa for an avant garde design in contrasting colour schemes, the bracelet was heralded as a prime example of the bold Art Deco jewellery of the Roaring Twenties.
Casting off the gloom of World War I, the Roaring Twenties was a time of exuberant creativity, sustained economic prosperity and undoubted joie de vivre. Arguably, the most revolutionary change that this period witnessed was women winning voting rights in most Western economies – a move that, among others, revolutionised all aspects of women’s fashion.
Embracing the spirit of adventure, women found themselves drawn to exotic motifs from faraway lands, mainly Egypt, thanks in no small part, to Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922. Van Cleef &amp; Arpels, too found themselves riding the tide of Egyptomania, with archival sketches of this, jewellery revealing striking similarities with iconography from the lost Valley of Kings.

A single strand of pearls might suffice for a stuffy banquet, but more opulent occasions call for jewellery that rises to the task. If you have a gala coming up and aren’t sure how to accessorise your gown, the latest high jewellery collections from top labels promise to provide ample inspiration.
Created in collaboration with Chinese designer Guo Pei, Chopard’s Silk Road Collection fuses Eastern elegance with European charm. One standout necklace features 105 carats worth of pear-shaped emeralds, surrounded by tourmalines and brilliant-cut diamonds. The contrast of the rich emerald green with the dazzle of the white diamonds is bound to make any ensemble pop.

Chaumet is also seeing green with its Pastorale Anglaise earrings. Launched as part of the brand’s Chaumet est une Fête Collection – an ode to extravagant celebrations – the dangle earrings are fashioned out of white and yellow gold, and set with emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds. The vibrant, geometric design is modelled after the Scottish tartan print.

Another soiree-inspired range – albeit Italian, not French – is Bulgari’s Festa collection. According to the designer, “Festas (parties) happen everywhere in Italy and are the essence of the Italian way of life.” What better way to celebrate than with pearls, sapphires and diamonds? The Festa delle Principesse necklace boasts three strands of pearls and has two bows on each side – a tribute to Italian Queen Margherita of Savoy, who loved wearing bows, the region’s symbol.

&nbsp;
For something whimsical, Van Cleef &amp; Arpels’ Le Secret Collection takes a page from mythical and magical stories. Its Secret des Amoureux clip – a bow-and-arrow-shaped medley of diamonds, three kinds of gold and coloured sapphires – pays homage to Cupid, the Roman god of love. 
Whether you go with something dazzlingly bold or more demure, there’s no denying that these jewellery pieces put the joie – or joy – in haute joaillerie.

Gold doesn’t have to be worn in just two dimensions. That, at least, is the intention behind the latest additions to the Van Cleef &amp; Arpels’ Perlée collection, a range featuring the brand’s iconic beaded gemstone design and pearls of gold in pink, yellow and white iterations.
Three new Between the Finger rings all feature a unique semi-circle design, complete with gold band in one of three colours, topped with a carnelian, malachite or turquoise gemstone. The rings can be paired with a gold and diamond pendant or matching earrings.
