Le Petit Cactus or Fleurette
Mellerio · Van Cleef & Arpels
Le Petit Cactus
The flower of the vanilla cactus, which opens for one night a year, made as a small burst of rose gold stamens around a single stone.
Small enough to wear every day, both flowers keep a single bloom to the scale of a stud or a charm. Fleurette is seven round diamonds bunched into a corolla with almost no metal showing, a Van Cleef & Arpels motif of long standing that became a collection around 2000. Le Petit Cactus is mostly gold: rose-gold stamens radiating from one stone, which can be a brown or yellow diamond, a sapphire or a tsavorite. Fleurette sparkles white. The cactus flower answers in warm metal and colour.
