The Van Cleef & Arpels House was inspired by the extravagance, daring and happy-go-lucky spirit of the roaring 20's.
Now at Van Cleef & Arpels, high jewellery unite in a world of exceptional craftsmanship, characterized by unique artistry and demanding standards. Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates this union with its Couture Collection: where fabric becomes jewellery, and jewellery becomes fabric, the result is to drape a woman in majestic splendour. You really need to study the detail of the picture (or the real article) to appreciate the extent of the craftsmanship.
The renowned jewellery ornaments and accessories of high fashion are transformed into rare objects such as: shimmering gold lace, tassels in precious stones, detailed embroideries, ribbons covered in rubies and magical zippers.
