JEWELS OF THE WILD

The newest fine jewelry and watches borrow themes from Mother Nature

March 24, 2022

Nature is a constant inspiration that defies time in fine jewelry and watch design.

As in the past, the recent film awards season illustrates this beautifully, with flora and fauna themes once again emerging as celebrity favorites on the red carpet. Among the most spectacular are Lady Gaga’s floral necklace by Tiffany & Co. and the lavish Serpenti serpent necklace by Bvlgari worn by Selena Gomez to the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Men are into bold animal-themed jewelry as a finishing touch as well (and we want more of this, please). At the British Academy Film Awards, Kodi Smit-McPhee wore a Panthère diamond pin by Cartier on the lapel of his blue suit while Max Harwood accessorized his teal three-piece suit with a bird-shaped diamond pin.

This season, wild animals, plants and flowers come to vibrant life in the fantastical collections at our fine jewelry and timepiece boutiques, destined to be collectibles and heirlooms one day:
