  • Favoured by royals like Queen Elizabeth, Queen Sonja of Norway and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, nature-inspired high jewellery turns the world around us into works of art
  • Chaumet’s Chant du Printemps brooch is inspired by Japanese cloisonné enamel work while Chanel’s Camélia Vénitien earrings drip in diamonds and rock crystals

When spring comes around, nature is reborn for another four seasons. Sprouts emerge from the ground, leaves start to grow on trees, and flowers of all shapes and sizes are in full bloom. Not only does nature on Earth flourish as we orbit around the sun – we’re also greeted by new constellations that reside in a different section of space.

These jewellery brands have been inspired by natural phenomena, capturing these wondrous moments and immortalising them into gorgeous works of art. Chanel’s camellia asymmetric earrings or Chaumet’s berry brooch give more subtle nods towards nature. If you’re looking to make a bolder statement, Boucheron’s holographic peony will dazzle all.

Nature-inspired jewels are also favourites of royals like Queen Elizabeth and Queen Sonja of Norway.
