Gemstones of dazzling radiance, whether colorless or colored, diamonds have illuminated the flourishing creativity of the Maison Van Cleef & Arpels from 1906 until today.
Imparting a spirit of lightness and volume into diamond jewelry, the Maison draws inspiration from the world of couture to design sparkling ensembles: the gems portray the intricate patterns of lace, the silky swirl of a ribbon or the elegant folds of fabric, imbued with luminous elegance.
Reinterpreting the river of diamonds design, in the 1960s the Maison created jewelry pieces alive with shimmering poetry: composed of delicate flowers or geometric motifs, these exquisite creations, set in platinum or yellow gold, beautifully accent the neckline of elegant women.
Depicting the contours of a tree, a bouquet or a graceful swan, diamonds breathe life into the magical garden of Van Cleef & Arpels. Baguette or tapered, brilliant or oval, marquise or briolette, their shapes and cuts illuminate figurative creations.
Certain storied diamonds write their own legends: stones such as the “Blue Heart” and the “Walska Briolette” have inspired exceptional creations. For each of these gems, Van Cleef & Arpels has imagined a distinctive design, enhancing its shape, color and unique caratage.
A new expression of this creativity, the Legend of diamonds - 25 Mystery Set Jewels collection was born from the Maison's encounter with an incomparable 910 carats rough diamond.
From this treasure of nature, Van Cleef & Arpels has created 25 pieces combining exceptional diamonds with the velvety reflections of rubies, sapphires or emeralds in Mystery Set, the emblematic technique of the Maison.
