Blossom or Hortensia
Boodles · Chaumet
Blossom
Small cherry blossoms in white, rose or yellow gold, their petals beaded with diamonds like dew on a spring morning.
Empress Joséphine's garden at Malmaison lies behind Hortensia, which Claire Dévé-Rakoff, Chaumet's creative director, made into a high-jewelry collection in autumn 2013: hydrangea florets massed into pompoms and garlands in pink opal, sapphires, rubies and angel-skin coral. Blossom works with single flowers instead of a mass of them. Boodles' cherry heads, introduced in 2016, are small enough to sit three to a ring, their petals in white, rose or yellow gold, flecked with diamonds.
