Spring/Summer 2025 Paris Couture Week highlighted nature’s enduring influence on high jewelry, with floral themes reigning supreme across top collections. Designers drew deep inspiration from the natural world, showcasing blooms, birds, and wild motifs. Dior and Boucheron led with dazzling floral designs, while Graff, Chaumet, and Cartier explored wildlife elements including birds and bamboo.
Nature has always been a central muse for Picchiotti, alongside architecture. This season, the Italian house once again celebrates the beauty of nature with a fresh array of floral high jewelry pieces.
“Nature never fails to amaze me,” says Giuseppe Picchiotti, founder of the brand. “When I create, I aim to replicate the awe we feel when admiring a blooming orchid or inhaling the scent of a delicate rose. I enjoy crafting literal floral designs that capture such fleeting beauty in timeless form—and I also love interpreting nature in more abstract ways. Unlike real flowers, these creations are everlasting, which may be why they hold such appeal.”
One of Picchiotti’s most iconic pieces—the Rose Brooch—stands as a testament to this philosophy. It was one of Giuseppe Picchiotti’s earliest and most celebrated creations, launched nearly 60 years ago. The brooch, styled as a single long-stemmed rose, became a global symbol of the brand.
In her book marking Picchiotti’s 50th anniversary, renowned jewelry historian Vivienne Becker describes the diamond Rose Brooch as one of the brand’s foundational designs. First created in 1967, it has evolved over time into a modern collectible masterpiece.
Featuring over 400 pavé-set brilliant-cut diamonds, the brooch captures the rose in a moment of transformation—between tight bud and full bloom. Becker praises it for its “velvety realism” and the balance of elegance and sensuality that defines Picchiotti’s aesthetic.
Due to its popularity, Picchiotti expanded the collection with additional interpretations, including the Rosebud Brooch, representing the flower in its youthful stage. Variations include ruby, sapphire, and a striking brown diamond version—each offering a new perspective on nature’s timeless charm.
