Van Cleef, a modern-day fairy story.
In the style of a beautiful romantic novel, the story of the brand Van Cleef & Arpels began with a couple in love, Estelle Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef. These two designers also had a passion for the world of designing jewellery. It was, therefore, only natural for them to decide to launch their own brand of jewellery in 1896. The newlyweds came from families of artisans and traders in precious stones. It was only ten years after its creation that Van Cleef & Arpels moved into premises on Place Vendôme, one of the most prestigious locations in Paris for high-end jewellery. With precious products like the Alhambra collection, the label won over the hearts and minds of female customers and, more tellingly, of professionals working in the industry.
A floral collection for the women of today.
The jewels designed by Van Cleef & Arpels, include the truly outstanding Alhambra range. The range was first brought out in 1968 with a long necklace embodying the know-how the brand has made its own. As soon as it came out, success was instantaneous and the piece became a reference in the world of luxury jewellery. Personalities like Grace Kelly and Françoise Hardy wore it with pride. Over time, Alhambra would come out as a full range, with rings, earrings and bracelets. The famous quatrefoil flower, in beaded white or pink gold, which adorns the piece, comes in a variety of forms. The mother-of-pearl, stones and diamonds are meticulously crafted by artisans to reveal an unparalleled degree of radiance.
