Femininity and the natural beauty of flowers intertwine seamlessly, enhancing the elegance of both the woman and the bloom. Inspired by this harmony, we at Chic Fleuriste have crafted exquisite jewelry from real flowers for the extraordinary women of Cardinalia. These models, mature and gracefully beyond their prime, embody beauty, delicacy, and wisdom, fully realized through their life journeys.
Amplify the Sense of Well-Being at Any Age
As women, we are drawn to beauty, and our goal is to amplify the sense of well-being at any age. To celebrate this, we united expertise from three realms of artistry—Chic Fleuriste’s floral creations, fashion designs by Alexandra Catrangiu Studio, Romanita Iovan, Idyllic, and models of Cardinalia Agency. Together, we curated a stunning photo session that honors the timeless elegance of women.
Each piece of floral jewelry was meticulously designed to complement the chosen outfit and reflect the wearer’s unique personality. These one-of-a-kind creations include earrings, necklaces, and hats made from fresh flowers. Though ephemeral, they evoke a breathtaking 'wow' moment that captures admiration for their intricate beauty and fragility.
Ten unique floral jewelry pieces were crafted for ten exceptional model women, each over the age of 35, showcasing the beauty and individuality of every wearer. These creations, combining nature’s delicacy with artistic design, celebrate femininity and timeless elegance. Here’s a closer look at the floral masterpieces:
- Black Cosmos Flower Hat: A striking and elegant headpiece featuring delicate black Cosmos flowers, perfect for making a bold yet refined statement.
- White Spray Rose Round Earring: Sophisticated, this earring frames the face with the soft, pure beauty of white spray rose blooms, decomposed, petal by petal, and then recomposed into a single earring.
