Hortensia or Lunaria
Chaumet · Marco Bicego
Hortensia
Hortensia
Hydrangea florets gathered into pompoms, garlands and posies, the flower repeated in gold petals, pink opal and pavé.
Empress Joséphine's planting at Malmaison stands behind Hortensia, the high-jewelry collection Claire Dévé-Rakoff made for Chaumet in 2013, its hydrangea florets heaped into pompoms of pink opal, coral and pavé. Lunaria comes from a humbler plant, the honesty, grown for the silvery seed discs that dry on its stems; Marco Bicego flattens those discs into yellow gold, diamonds or grey mother-of-pearl.
