Blossom or Alhambra
Boodles · Van Cleef & Arpels
Blossom
Small cherry blossoms in white, rose or yellow gold, their petals beaded with diamonds like dew on a spring morning.
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.
