In 1954, Van Cleef & Arpels reimagined high jewelry by creating La Boutique, a unique place that offered a modern, daywear line of jewels. Among them were clips featuring charming animals. Whether puckish or mischievous, they introduced a lively note to jewelry in Place Vendôme.
In the 1950s, Van Cleef & Arpels created a lightsome world of charming little animals. Inspired by early animated films, they range from endearing to burlesque. Surprisingly proportioned, some evoke the humorous aesthetic of cartoons.
Van Cleef & Arpels tells the tale of its delightful menagerie filled with humanlike and irresistible characters. Nosey, whimsical, peaceful… each with a unique manner that clients enjoyed matching with their own disposition.
The Van Cleef & Arpels’ family of animal clips is one that never stops growing. From dogs to elephants, foxes to squirrels, the charming animals make delightful gifts and collections for jewelry lovers.
Luck is in sight
