Blossom or Giardino

Lake Maggiore supplies Giardino. Laure-Isabelle Mellerio based it on the half-wild garden of Isola Madre, cutting a four-petalled openwork flower with a lace edge and setting a single pink sapphire, ruby or tsavorite at its heart, with a few blue sapphires for the water. Blossom draws on another garden culture, the Japanese cherry, and since 2016 Boodles has made its small flowers in three golds, a scatter of diamonds on every petal.
