Hortensia or Sunflower

Chaumet · Harry Winston

Hortensia

Hydrangea florets gathered into pompoms, garlands and posies, the flower repeated in gold petals, pink opal and pavé.

Sunflower

Eight matched stones ring a single round brilliant like petals around a seed head, laid out with a compass for strict symmetry.

Eight stones around one, laid out with a compass: Harry Winston's 1950 Sunflower turns the flower into strict geometry, set in platinum and mostly in diamonds. Chaumet's Hortensia crowds hydrangea florets into pompoms and loose garlands with no fixed count, in rose gold, pink opal and pavé, for Joséphine's garden at Malmaison. The New York rosette is a diagram of symmetry. The Paris flower, sixty-three years younger, is happy to look untidy, as gardens do.
