The High Jewelry thematic collections of
Van Cleef & Arpels
Since the 2000s, the High Jewelry thematic collections have reflected the Maison's creativity and excellence of savoir-faire. Gems that spark emotion, literary works or dreamlike landscapes have inspired Van Cleef & Arpels to create precious ensembles imbued with enchantment.
A tribute to William Shakespeare's eponymous play, the High Jewelry collection entitled A Midsummer Night's Dream is an enchanting ode to nature and love, two of the Maison's most emblematic sources of inspiration.
The Maison draws inspiration from the world of couture like a tribute to its birthplace: Paris.
Van Cleef & Arpels highlights the bonds between Haute Couture and High Jewelry. Adorned with gemstones, fabric becomes precious while gold mimicks the fluidity of a cloth...
Along with a necklace and a bracelet, this Boutonnière ring features the button as the main motif of a double ribbon that wraps around the finger.
Golden lacework, sparkling bows and tassels of precious stones celebrate fluidity and movement.
The Maison pays tribute to all the designers and craftsmen who, since 1906, have written its history. This collection celebrates their contribution by bringing to life drawings for pieces of jewelry, from the 1920s to the 1960s, that had never been produced before.
Designed around 1935, this Drapé de diamants necklace is comprised of a ribbon that wraps delicately around the neck and forms a knot on the shoulder.
The Feuille Mystérieuse clip, also inspired by a 1930s archive, combines rubies and diamonds to form an airy composition.
On the occasion of its centennial, Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates its birthplace: Paris. With Une Journée à Paris™, the Maison offers a bewejeled wander through iconic places of the city of light.
The journey begins at dawn in the peaceful jardin des Tuileries, continues on to the île de la Cité just as the sun illuminates Notre-Dame, along the Avenue Montaigne, pauses for a moment at the Eiffel Tower and at the Opera, and finally ends the day... at Place Vendôme.
This Oiseau Mystérieux clip illustrates the virtuosity of the Maison's craftsmen. The Mystery Set™, patented by the Maison in 1933, is a setting technique that makes the jewel's structure as invisible as possible.
Van Cleef & Arpels dives into the depths of the Atlantis myth in search of great treasures and mysterious beings.

The Maison recreates the graceful swim of dreamlike fishes with the Iliade clip. It sublimates sapphires thanks to the Mystery Set™ Navette technique which conceals the metal structure in favor of gemstones.
The bonds uniting the Maison to the world of dance date back to the 1920s, when Louis Arpels used to bring its nephew Claude to the Opera Garnier, close to the Place Vendôme. Pursuing this pas de deux, Van Cleef & Arpels pays tribute to this art with the Ballet Précieux™ collection, around four themes: the ballet, the emerald, the ruby and the diamond.
An emblematic feminine figure of the Maison since the 1940s, the ballerina is characterized by its silhouette sculpted in gold and its diamond face.
An iconic source of inspiration for Van Cleef & Arpels, nature is immortalized in a High Jewelry collection dedicated to the gardens from here and elsewhere.
Four mythical gardens are the jewelers’ muses: Italian garden from the Renaissance, Jardin à la française, English romantic garden and Far East garden.
Inspired by the vivid imagery associated with the American West Coast, Van Cleef & Arpels poetically re-interprets its emblems and glorifies its colours with the California Rêverie™ collection.
The Maison introduces new animals, dwells languidly on exotic flowers and features panoramic pieces. Adorned with colorful stones, the pieces evoke the majesty of the landscapes bathed in the light of the California.
A creature dear to the Maison, the butterfly embodies a nature in constant renewal. In 2009, Van Cleef & Arpels pays tribute to it with a High Jewelry collection highlighting several species.
Clouds of butterflies, figurative representations and feminine figures with diaphanous wings form an ensemble expressing the elegance of the animal and its flight.
The expertise of the Maison's craftsmen, combined with its taste for gemstones, gives rise to creations adorned with a shimmering symphony of ornamental and precious stones.
Van Cleef & Arpels draws inspiration from birds and their flamboyant plumage to imagine a High Jewelry ensemble in 2009, Oiseaux de Paradis®.
Graceful silhouettes, volutes of feathers, stones cascading with multiple colors, compose a universe both figurative and abstract, imbued with vitality.
Les Voyages Extraordinaires™ falls under the aegis of Jules Verne, a genius of invention. Through its creations, the Maison illustrates four novels of the writer : Five weeks in a balloon, Journey to the centre of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon and the very famous Twenty thousand leagues under the sea.
"Jules Verne’s dream-like world resonates with that of the Maison, whose artistic heritage was built on the beauty of flora and fauna, the sky and the stars, imaginary creatures..." – Nicolas Bos, President and CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels
Van Cleef & Arpels has chosen to renew this very French tradition of the ball. The Bals de Légende™ collection presents jewels inspired by five extraordinary 20th century balls: the Winter Palace Ball, the Bal du Siècle, the Black & White Ball, the Oriental Ball and the Proust Ball.
The jewels presented in this collection are also the opportunity to discover a treasure trove of the most fabulous ensemble of rare stones, including a yellow sapphire of 50.75 carats and a cushion-cut sapphire of 29.88 carats.
