The 5 best nature-inspired jewellery pieces for spring, from Chanel’s asymmetrical camellia flower earrings and Van Cleef & Arpels’ ethereal Astre rose ring, to Chaumet’s brooch
When spring comes around, nature is reborn for another four seasons. Sprouts emerge from the ground, leaves start to grow on trees, and flowers of all shapes and sizes are in full bloom. Not only does nature on Earth flourish as we orbit around the sun – we’re also greeted by new constellations that reside in a different section of space.
These jewellery brands have been inspired by natural phenomena, capturing these wondrous moments and immortalising them into gorgeous works of art. Chanel’s camellia asymmetric earrings or Chaumet’s berry brooch give more subtle nods towards nature. If you’re looking to make a bolder statement, Boucheron’s holographic peony will dazzle all.
These are STYLE’s top picks for high jewellery that brings us closer to nature – and are even fit for a queen.
1. Chanel
These asymmetrical earrings from Chanel’s Camélia Vénitien collection are inspired by camellia flowers, and recreate their beauty in yellow gold, diamonds and rock crystals. Price upon request.
