I absolutely love the cuff. It’s such a statement piece@sunnylovesjewelry, agree with @JenJBS. Also perhaps check out Etsy for peony inspired jewelry. i also Seem to recall seeing ornate jade pieces with either peony or camellia motifs. . . Also, I tried on a curved sculptural gold ring at Wempe that, IMO, referenced a floral motif and used air for fabulous and modern negative space shapes (But Wempe website is horrible). Trying to recall if vintage georg Jensen did a peony like floral motif.
Bought a Bulgari serpenti tubogas RG bracelet and a RG serpenti Ring, with pave head and tail. These are my last purchases for a good long while! DH, my SA and I even liked it with my avatar cuff(the serpenti tubogas was the last one at the boutique; and, Bulgari is discontinuing it. I did try on the current serpenti line, but neither DH nor the SA liked it as much as this one on my frame.
prior to 2020, the last jewelry item I bought was a Bulgari YG lucea necklace in 2001 (shown in the second pic)

thank you @skyqueen, @missie1, and @BigAkoya for your kind words below! @BigAkoya, I’ve put the museum of natural history exhibit on my list, thank you! I’m a big fan of Cartier Maria Felix inspiration alligators
@nightbefore, between the Bulgari and the Cartier JUC, I think you will know as soon as you try them on your wrist. I seem to recall you have other JUC pieces? Are you a matchy person? are you building a stack? Will it be an everyday piece for you? I’m not petite and never thought of myself as a stack person and tried the current model serpenti viper pave bracelets that wrap twice and three times. They just looked fussy on me bc of the way my wrist is built. . . So it’s a personal thing. I adore them on others, and just tried for curiosity. I will say that I would have unquestionably voted JUC until this weekend bc the serpenti bracelets look so much better IRL.
Yes, Anabela Chan does. I am not sure if it is the vibe your looking for, and its a bit too colourful for me, but she does have some peony and many other floral designs.

I have quite a few chopard pieces.... before I was a fan of Grisogono but it died out!
Also a big fan of Boucheron...
her pieces are gorgeous, but a bit too loud for me. thank you for sharing though!
would love to see any boucheron pieces you have...i love the quatre collection
I admit I’m a bit obsessed with JLC Reversos, and I’d argue that they are qualify as jewelry. I don’t have one yet but they’re on my permanent list.
And for some reason, IWC pilot watches. But there is only one that fits me, the 36. Can I complain how I feel neglected by these watch companies as a woman with a small wrist?

I love reverso and it is on my wishlist too. (Never ending wishlist…) The leather strap looks so rich in both coloursand the design is so unique. I also really love the jlc master ultra thin moon but it only comes in 39mm… 
Pics please, @so_sofya1985! Preferably with your gorgeous white kelly
@EpiFanatic, @nightbefore, I borrow DHs reverso and IWC Portugueser, (since he fell in love with ALange, he’s thrilled I borroe them) but I am am medium boned, not petite. I will say it’s harder to get the reverso to look right bc its rectangular and not curved — if you want a curved rectangle, I prefer Breguet. Sadly, womens reverso’s somehow look too fussy on me. (Probably bc I’m too big boned for them).
@EpiFanatic, years ago, when Tourneau was acquired, they had a massive sample sale at Soiffer Haskins in NY. DH and I lined up for hours and for about 10K usd total, we bought watches similar to the two watches you posted below (our JLC has the ten day power reserve, skeleton back, but without diamonds) and a two tone automatic large tank francais with date. These watches were either returns or reconditioned and did not have box or papers). The IWC was probably a return bc it had a large scratch on the back which we had republished. although Tourneau had other yearly sample sales, they never came close to matching that one. Tourneau also offered a YG tank francais for I think 6K. We called my MIL from the sale and asked if she wanted it, but she said no. So we had to let it go.
@BigAkoya, thanks for the recommendation: we’ve joined the Museum of Natural History; made our reservations; and, bought thr pamphlet

I actually love the straight rectangle. Their extra straight grooves at the top and bottom is so Art Deco, my favorite style. I want one with no diamonds on one side and diamonds on the other.Pics please, @so_sofya1985! Preferably with your gorgeous white kelly

And I also love the Portugueser. Love a white face. But alas…too big yet again.
Hahahaha okkkkk! Will attempt to do it soonPics please, @so_sofya1985! Preferably with your gorgeous white kelly

I love peonies too and try to get a bunch at the florist when they bloom. They are so beautiful, big and puffy.
I'm not sure if you must have fine jewelry, but sometimes wearing "fun" jewelry is also, well.. fun!
Your question made me think and search... here are some fun peony earrings. They are made of a clay polymer, not plastic, so I imagine they will look nice. I would think if you want a pendant or jumbo ring, she could custom the size. I like the flower, it looks like a peony to me.

Here is a visualize of a supersize peony ring. I don't like the flower itself as it does not look like a peony to me. Peony blooms are very layered and almost bloom from the inside out. This flower looks more like a carnation to me, and the petal edges are not rounded enough, but this can give you an idea of a big flower ring look.

Good luck to you on your search!
In addition to being a VCA fan I am a big Verdura fan too. There is a lot of Verdura that doesn’t appeal to me, but there is also a lot that does .
I keep most of jewelry away from home in a safe deposit box and I go and visit every so often and switch out pieces. This week I pulled out some of my Verdura earrings that hadn’t seen the light of day for a long time! Thought I would share !

thank you @EpiFanatic ! I hope you get your dream JLC soon!
