Enthralled by the celestial vault, Van Cleef & Arpels has long dreamed of capturing the poetry of stars. Since the 1950s, creations inspired by the signs of the Zodiac have ref lected the symbolism of constellations. Today, the Maison continues this tradition with new interpretations of its medals with white gold pendants and bracelets. Expanding the wearing possibilities, these pieces are imbued with the story of their wearer.

In a veritable homage to the colored pendants designed by Van Cleef & Arpels in the 1970s, twelve long necklaces are adorned with motifs on both sides, like a genuine three-dimensional tableau. In a graphic aspect reminiscent of Art Deco compositions, animals and characters are depicted in relief in the foreground, while the elements evoking fire, air, water or earth are represented in the background. 

A selection of ornamental stones adds the finishing touch to the backgrounds of these relief tableaux. Chosen individually for their aesthetic characteristics, the rich diversity of stones  come together to form harmoniously colored ensembles for each element.
