The High Jewelry thematic collections of
Van Cleef & Arpels
Since the 2000s, the High Jewelry thematic collections have reflected the Maison's creativity and excellence of savoir-faire. These precious sets express the sources of inspiration dear to the Maison in narrative tableaux inviting contemplation. Thus, gems that spark emotion, literary works, benevolent nature ou love stories have given life to creations imbued with enchantment.
A tribute to William Shakespeare's eponymous play, the High Jewelry collection entitled A Midsummer Night's Dream is an enchanting ode to nature and love, two of the Maison's most emblematic sources of inspiration.
The Maison draws inspiration from the world of couture like a tribute to its birthplace: Paris.
Van Cleef & Arpels highlights the bonds between Haute Couture and High Jewelry. Adorned with gemstones, fabric becomes precious while gold mimicks the fluidity of a cloth...

Along with a necklace and a bracelet, this Boutonnière ring features the button as the main motif of a double ribbon that wraps around the finger.
Golden lacework, sparkling bows and tassels of precious stones celebrate fluidity and movement.
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of its founding, Van Cleef & Arpels has imagined three High Jewelry collections. The Trésors révélés collection honors the Maison's designers and craftsmen, while the Une journée à Paris™ collection celebrates its birthplace. Finally, the Pierres de Caractère™ collection illustrates Van Cleef & Arpels' fascination with exceptional gemstones.
The Maison pays tribute to all the designers and craftsmen who have written its history. This collection celebrates their contribution by bringing to life drawings for pieces of jewelry, from the 1920s to the 1960s, that had never been produced before.
Designed around 1935, this Drapé de diamants necklace is comprised of a ribbon that wraps delicately around the neck and forms a knot on the shoulder.
The Feuille Mystérieuse clip, also inspired by a 1930s archive, combines rubies and diamonds to form an airy composition.

On the occasion of its centennial, Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates its birthplace: Paris. With Une Journée à Paris™, the Maison offers a bewejeled wander through iconic places of the city of light.
The journey begins at dawn in the peaceful jardin des Tuileries, continues on to the île de la Cité just as the sun illuminates Notre-Dame, along the Avenue Montaigne, pauses for a moment at the Eiffel Tower and at the Opera, and finally ends the day... at Place Vendôme.
This Oiseau Mystérieux clip illustrates the virtuosity of the Maison's craftsmen. The Mystery Set™, patented by the Maison in 1933, is a setting technique that makes the jewel's structure as invisible as possible.
A true ode to the beauty of precious stones and rare materials, the Pierres de Caractère™ collection embodies the quest for excellence that has driven the Maison since its beginnings. "Each stone has a soul of its own," as Claude Arpels liked to say. This fascination with gemstones is expressed through this sparkling ensemble.
Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, but also aquamarines, garnets, spinels, topaz and even tourmaline... The range of gems is showcased throughout the creations, making up dazzling sets.

Van Cleef & Arpels dives into the depths of the Atlantis myth in search of great treasures and mysterious beings.
The Maison recreates the graceful swim of dreamlike fishes with the Iliade clip. It sublimates sapphires thanks to the Mystery Set™ Navette technique which conceals the metal structure in favor of gemstones.
The bonds uniting the Maison to the world of dance date back to the 1920s, when Louis Arpels used to bring its nephew Claude to the Opera Garnier, close to the Place Vendôme. Pursuing this pas de deux, Van Cleef & Arpels pays tribute to this art with the Ballet Précieux™ collection, around four themes: the ballet, the emerald, the ruby and the diamond.

Van Cleef & Arpels is celebrating luck, a value it has held dear, with the Palais de la Chance® collection. The Maison has drawn inspiration from stories and motifs gleaned between heaven to earth and across the seven seas, and gathered a myriad of tokens of luck around three themes: Your lucky star, Lucky-charm nature and Lucky legends.
"To have luck, you have to believe in luck"
Seven years after the first Pierres de Caractère™ collection, created to celebrate Van Cleef & Arpels' centenary, the Maison is paying homage to the beauty of gems, to their enchanting hues and the emotions they evoke. This collection, entitled Pierres de Caractère – Variations, gives pride of place to exceptional stones and dazzling color combinations in three chapters: Variations en duo, Variations en camaïeu, Variations polychromes.
Adopted by Van Cleef & Arpels in the 1960s and 1970s, these associations of materials inspire new harmonies in jewelry. Colorful rings meet aquatic jewels adorned with every shade of blue. In a shimmering harmony, parures feature all the hues of the setting sun, like an invitation to travel.
Suffused with enchantment, the Peau d'Âne raconté par Van Cleef & Arpels collection is inspired by a well-known fairy tale by Charles Perrault. Reflecting the story of the young princess, the Maison has revisited several of its favorite themes: feminine figures to enchanting nature, from couture to love.
This graceful, fairylike atmosphere is complemented by the magic of gems, embodying the Maison's taste forged by more than 100 years of expertise.
Remarkable for their clarity, their intense color or the distinct charm of their old-style cuts, the stones have been carefully selected by the Maison's gemologists to instill each piece with a unique emotion.
