Solitaires and engagement rings

ENGAGEMENT Solitaires and engagement rings

Van Cleef & Arpels has been the faithful companion of love stories since its foundation. A true symbol of destiny, the first piece mentioned in the 1906 sales records was a heart set with diamonds. Today, the celebration of feelings continues to imbue the Maison’s collections with poetry and enchantment. From engagement rings to solitaires, each creation reflects the enchanting world of Van Cleef & Arpels, its virtuoso expertise and the exacting criteria that guide the selection of the stones.

Van Cleef & Arpels' solitaires are a reflection of the Maison’s High Jewelry savoir-faire. Playing on the brilliance of platinum and white gold, or the warmth of rose gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires adorn seventeen timeless aesthetics. Pavages of round diamonds, rows of baguette diamonds, triangles or pear-shaped diamonds add their sparkle to the center stone, evoking a unique emotion. 

 

Each stone adorning a solitaire is carefully selected by the expert gemologists of the Maison's Stones Department, from pave diamonds to the rarest center stones. The most demanding quality criteria are respected, along with a specific Van Cleef & Arpels taste, forged by over a hundred years of expertise.
