Flowers have been a source of inspiration for Parisian jeweller Van Cleef & Arpels since its inception. Throughout its storied history, the brand has created a number of emblematic collections featuring daisies, buttercups, camellias and many others. In this new Diamond Breeze collection, the lotus takes centre stage and headlines with three novelties: a between-the-finger ring, a pendant and a pair of earrings.

To celebrate the magical season of winter, Van Cleef & Arpels looked towards the lotus as the flower represents beauty, purity and rebirth. Nods to the lotus flower first appeared as part of the Maison?s Egyptian collection in the late 1920s. In 2001, it bloomed for the first time on a between-the-finger ring, which has since become a signature of the subsequent Lotus collections. The flower?s motif soon blossomed in other of the Maison?s collections, particularly its High Jewellery and Zip collections.
