We present five botanical pieces to add to your jewelry box this season:

Girl with a pearl bracelet

For anyone seeking an investment piece, this three-row bracelet with olive leaves — a symbol of peace and abundance — between the sections, is a timeless, elegant choice.

An original Paloma Picasso design from Tiffany & Co., it’s also, dare we say, a nice counterpoint to the brand’s more recent contemporary collections.

Gold standard

Made from solid 14K gold, with pavé diamonds on one petal, this pressed-flower necklace is both modern and playful — a great option for anyone who thinks florals are staid or boring.

The collection also includes matching rings and earrings in yellow gold, white gold or two-tone gold vermeil and sterling silver.
