At the venerable house of Van Cleef & Arpels, the essence of true artistry transcends mere technical skill, finding its very heartbeat in the selection of the most extraordinary gems that breathe life into each creation. Since its auspicious beginnings in 1906, this esteemed Maison has consistently paid homage to the captivating beauty of the natural world—from delicate floral flourishes to the awe-inspiring celestial sphere and the intricate wonders found all around us—transforming these inspirations into enduring works of art.
The enduring wisdom of Claude Arpels, who once noted that “Every stone has a soul of its own,” continues to inform the house’s remarkably meticulous curation process. To this day, Van Cleef & Arpels gathers the rarest diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds, each chosen not only for its inherent brilliance and captivating hue but for the very emotion it stirs within.
In signature style, the Maison recently unveiled “Treasure of Gems,” a breathtaking exhibition showcasing its most exceptional stones and presenting creations that demanded hundreds of dedicated hours to craft, all for its most discerning devotees. Among the stars of the collection was the striking Chevron Mystérieux necklace—a bold nod to the chic silhouettes of 1950s fashion, echoing the sculptural crossover collars that once graced elegant evening attire. Elsewhere, the Colerette Mystérieuse transformed vibrant rubies, delicate pink sapphires, and dazzling diamonds into a couture-inspired composition, draping with the graceful fluidity of the finest lace. At its heart, two extraordinary emerald-cut diamonds, weighing over 51 and 10 carats respectively, emanated an unparalleled radiance.
The Josiah necklace stands as a breathtaking testament to the Maison’s profound mastery of sapphires, featuring two utterly mesmerizing oval-cut stones—weighing in at 25.10 and 21.78 carats—their deep, velvety hues intensified by the brilliant embrace of surrounding diamonds. Meanwhile, the Carrousel des Demoiselles bracelet orchestrates a captivating symphony of emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds, capturing light and movement in a truly mesmerizing dance.
