Sunflower

Harry Winston

Sunflower

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

Fleurette

Van Cleef & Arpels

Fleurette

Seven round diamonds gathered into one small stylised flower, a corolla of stones with almost no metal showing.

Seven stones against nine. Van Cleef & Arpels' Fleurette gathers seven round diamonds into a tight corolla, a motif traced in its work since the 1920s and now made in white or rose gold. Harry Winston's Sunflower sets eight matched stones around a ninth, a round brilliant, with compass-drawn spacing, in platinum since 1950. Fleurette crowds its stones until the metal disappears; the Sunflower spaces them evenly, like petals around a seed head.
