The jewelry of celebrities is always particularly dazzling, in addition to the value, they also have their extraordinary aura blessing.

Van Cleef & Arpels has just unveiled three new fine jewelry pieces, featuring emeralds, rubies and diamonds, in honor of three of the brand's most important customers in history – Egyptian Princess Fawzia Fuad, German actress Marlene Dietrich and former U.S. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

The Merveille d'Оmeraudes necklace pays homage to a necklace made by Van Cleef & Arpels for Egyptian Princess Fawzia Fuad in 1929, featuring 10 teardrop-shaped curved emeralds in rich and full tones.

The Rubis Enscéne bracelet was based on a Jarretiére bracelet ordered by German actress Marlene Dietrich in 1937, and was also featured in Hitchcock's 1950 film Noir Stage Fright. Inspired by the buckles on women's stockings, the design is particularly striking in size and features nearly 70 pavé-set pillow-shaped rubies that create a unique swirling shape.

The new work is set with 72 rubies from Myanmar and cut in the same cushion shape as the original. With a total weight of 84.74ct, these rubies are also rare in the history of Van Cleef & Arpels to bring together so many high-quality Burmese rubies. The platinum bracelet wall is designed as a semi-open structure, extending into a half-moon pattern of different sizes, and the outer edge is embellished with bright diamonds, which set off the intense appeal of the ruby.

Reinterpreting the classic design in an all-diamond setting, the new work is two 20.21 ct total teardrop-shaped diamonds cut from the same rough, both at the top D-color and Flawless clarity grades. The stud earrings also follow the floral element, with a slender cutout structure between the petals and a teardrop-shaped diamond setting in the flower buds, which are full of vitality, and this piece can be disassembled into a simple stud earring version.
