Hortensia or Fleurette

Hortensia arrived in autumn 2013 as a high-jewelry collection, twenty-four pieces of hydrangea florets in pink opal, sapphire, ruby and angel-skin coral. Fleurette has no launch of that kind; its corolla of seven diamonds drifts through Van Cleef & Arpels jewels from the 1920s before becoming a line around 2000. Chaumet's flower is plural and coloured, clustered into pompoms. Its neighbour across the square is singular, white and small enough to vanish into the stones.
