Golden Beads
Accenting a gracious curve or framing a stone in the 1920s, golden beads became a motif in their own right as of 1948. They radiate a delicate glow, instilling joyful energy into Van Cleef & Arpels’ poetic creations.
Dancing Beads
Inspired by a perfectly round setting, golden beads grew increasingly abundant as of 1948 to form the Couscous and Bagatelle pieces. These generous, playful creations combine gleaming yellow gold with colored precious stones or sparkling diamonds.

Beaded Twists
In new unions of materials, golden beads put color in motion. They light up the red hue of coral, illuminate the blue tones of lapis lazuli or wrap around cultured pearls. These precious orbs embrace the skin with their rippling, undulating movement.
Sweet Animals
Cheerfully versatile, golden beads instill a playful hint of liberty into Van Cleef & Arpels’ stylized animals. Endearing fawns, inseparable lovebirds or delicate butterflies come to life in this whimsical motif.
