Boodles

Blossom

Small cherry blossoms in white, rose or yellow gold, their petals beaded with diamonds like dew on a spring morning.

Alhambra

Van Cleef & Arpels

Alhambra

A four-leaf clover cut from stone and ringed with a double row of gold beads, repeated along a chain like a string of charms.

Van Cleef & Arpels drew its four-leaf clover in 1968 and has repeated it along chains ever since, each leaf cut from stone or gold and ringed with a double row of gold beads. The Alhambra clover is luck worn as a sign, and the beaded edge makes it legible across a room. Boodles' Blossom, from 2016, is nearer the living plant: cherry flowers kept small, their petals beaded not at the rim but on the surface, with diamonds.
