Giardinetti (translates from Italian as 'little garden') became popular in the second half of the eighteenth century. The designs seem to evolve from the previous century when the supply of larger stones was limited, meaning craftsmen had to devise patterns that could utilise groups of smaller gems. Another important innovation in the late seventeenth century was the placing of the diamond in a silver setting as opposed to gold, thus avoiding the yellow reflections.

Definition: an article of jewelry - usually a ring or a brooch, with an intricate, openwork floral motif, consisting of multi-colored gems set in designs resembling flowers and often arranged in vases or baskets; originating in Italy in the late 17th century - the word giardinetti means "little gardens" in Italian - as rings, they were highly popular throughout the 18th century.
