Flowers are among the oldest and best-loved motifs in jewellery. They carry the beauty of nature, tenderness and the joy of life – and each of them has its own message.
The language of flowers
In the 19th century a whole “language of flowers” appeared in Europe. Lovers sent each other bouquets in which every flower said something that was not spoken aloud. And so flower jewellery became a secret message – a gift that speaks instead of words.
The best-loved flowers
- The rose – the flower of love; red speaks of passion, white of purity, pink of tenderness and gratitude.
- The lotus – in Egypt and the East a symbol of rebirth and purity, because it blooms white above the mud.
- The daisy – innocence, sincerity and a new beginning.
- The tulip – declared love and spring.
Symbolism
The flower is a sign of blossoming – of love, of beauty and of the person themselves. A flower jewel is believed to:
- wish joy, tenderness and femininity;
- remind you that everything has its time to bloom;
- bring spring and a good mood all year round.
Flowers in jewellery
Flowers look lovely in earrings, necklaces and brooches – from a single small flower on a chain to richly decorated pieces with crystals and pearls. A flower jewel is a wonderful gift for a birthday, for Women’s Day and for any occasion when you want to say something tender.
