Flower Jewels For Spring? Always!

The emergence of flowers—on clothing, in accessories, in home decor—is such a common occurrence leading up to spring that people may say it lacks originality (cue Meryl Streep’s infamously cutting line in the film The Devil Wears Prada). While some maintain it’s an overused concept, we must beg to differ. We’ve waited all winter for this: for the sight of blooms in so many colors and styles—and in our industry’s case, a variety of gemstones.

In a variety of sizes and species of flower, jewelers let their creativity flow with blooming jewels, utilizing an array of precious materials. From miniature realistic replicas to artistic and more abstract pieces, flowers can take on virtually any scale and style, in a rainbow of color or monochrome. There are daisies pavé-set with diamonds, roses enameled in red, tropical flowers colored with exotic gems.

And sure, the awakening of spring does seem to signal a floral overload everywhere you look, but how can that be a bad thing? When the warm weather fades into fall, and the winter brings its icy temperatures and barren trees, flower jewelry will hold strong, season after season, year after year.

These are some of the latest flower jewels preparing to blossom on the floor of the JCK Show in Las Vegas this year. This fresh arrangement of bejeweled blooms is ready to dazzle all who stop to smell, er, see, it this year!
