The aristocratic ladies of the Tulip Garden Society, the Countesses of the Andrássy, Apponyi, Batthyány, Bethlen, Károlyi and Zichy families were certainly not satisfied with a simple, reserved badge. Henrik Darilek designed a total collection of different jewels, matching the badge. The well-known, stylized tulip motif is dominant on all pieces, combined with tiny hearts on some of them. The colouring is similar to that of the badge: dominant red, white and green, against a dark and light blue base. The drawings were made at the same time, radiating the same principles.
