Grain de Café or Mimosa
Cartier · Damiani
Grain de Café
The coffee bean, full and grooved down its middle, cast in gold and gathered into clusters.
Neither motif is a garden rose. Cartier's is a coffee bean, drawn by Jeanne Toussaint in 1938, rounded and split by a groove, and worn in clusters by Grace Kelly's generation before the Grain de Café return of 2023. Damiani's is mimosa, the tough shrub that blooms in any weather, which Damiano Grassi Damiani made into a diamond flower for his wife and daughter and then dedicated to all women.
