For nearly three centuries, Garrard has epitomized timeless elegance and exquisite craftsmanship. As the world’s oldest jeweler, it has continually redefined luxury, seamlessly balancing heritage with innovation. Now, with the launch of the Lotus Collection, Garrard continues this legacy, blending its storied past with a fresh perspective on modern glamour.


A Timeless Symbol Reimagined


Garrard’s Lotus Collection represents a bold evolution of a storied motif, transforming a historic icon into refined, modern silhouettes. Inspired by the Garrard Lotus Flower Tiara, originally created for The Queen Mother in 1923 and now worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales, the collection embodies renewal, transformation, and enduring beauty.


The Art of Craftsmanship

Defined by its stylized marquise-shaped motif, the Lotus Collection balances symmetry and fluidity, echoing the natural harmony of its namesake flower. Diamonds and ombré gemstones shimmer in dynamic compositions—sculptural yet refined—enhancing the movement and brilliance of the designs. Castle-set stones intensify radiance from every angle, adding depth and dimension to each piece.


“The Lotus Collection is a celebration of strength, beauty, and reinvention—timeless values that have always been at the heart of Garrard,” says Sara Prentice, Chief Creative Officer of Garrard. “We have drawn from our heritage to create something entirely contemporary, where historical symbolism meets modern craftsmanship.” Each jewel in the Lotus Collection reflects the flower’s transformative power, realized through Garrard’s signature craftsmanship and innovative design.


The Collection: A Symphony of Design


Lotus Blossom: A Contemporary Interpretation

Exploring the balance of form and movement, Lotus Blossom introduces a modern reinterpretation of the lotus motif. Crafted in 18ct white, yellow, and rose gold, castle-set diamonds trace the delicate yet powerful lines of the marquise-shaped silhouette, evoking the organic twists and turns of nature.

  • Diamond pendant, earrings, ring, and bracelet in 18ct white, yellow, and rose gold.


Lotus Flower: A Celebration of Color and Light

Color flourishes in Lotus Flower, where graduating gemstones echo the natural vibrancy of petals unfurling in the sunlight. Crafted in 18ct white gold, an ombré of tsavorites and pink, purple, blue, and yellow sapphires seamlessly fades into brilliant-cut diamonds, wrapping around the forms with a radiant glow.

  • Slider pendant, front-facing hoop earrings, climber earrings, drop earrings, and ring in 18ct white gold.

  • The drop earrings and front-facing hoop earrings curve elegantly around the earlobe, with gently graduated rows of diamonds enhancing the fluidity of the design.

  • The ring’s asymmetrical composition allows the ombré gemstone petals to unfurl gracefully across two fingers.


Lotus Bloom: A Bold, Sculptural Expression

With a strong, graphic aesthetic, Lotus Bloom highlights the sculptural beauty of the motif. Featuring seven interwoven petals, each design is accented with round colored gemstones and a central pear-shaped gem, adding depth and vibrancy to the collection. The articulated pendant and drop earrings introduce movement, ensuring the pieces come alive with every gesture.

  • Slider pendant, drop earrings, climber earrings, ring, and brooch in 18ct white gold with diamonds and colored gemstones.

  • The bracelet consists of petal-shaped motifs interlinked for supple movement.

  • The ring fans outwards from a pear-shaped gemstone, with the petals bursting upwards on the hand.


Lotus Pearl: Refined Sophistication

The Lotus Pearl High Jewellery Suite enhances the collection with radiant beauty, pairing diamonds with shimmering mother-of-pearl cabochons. Crafted to accentuate the fluid lines of the Lotus Collection, marquise-shaped mother-of-pearl stones sit at the heart of each design, framed by delicate diamond petals.

  • Necklace, earrings, bracelet, and ring in 18ct white gold with round diamonds and mother-of-pearl cabochons.


Lotus Bloom Brooch: A Heritage Emblem Reimagined

Continuing Garrard’s tradition of brooch-making excellence, the Lotus Bloom brooch interlaces diamonds around a radiant array of pear-shaped center stones, including ruby, emerald, tsavorite, yellow sapphire, and aquamarine—a contemporary take on a timeless emblem.
