GIARDINETTO
The Italian word 'giardinetto' means 'small garden' in English. It is used to describe brooches or earrings generally mounted with colourful gemstones to imitate flowers, set in a vase. It has been a popular design since the 1930s, with notably Queen Elisabeth II owning a few examples in her private collection.
