Guangxi Chongzuo sits on the karst landform of tranquility, with a magnificent and peculiar posture for the world to amaze. Van Cleef & Arpels recently elegantly presented its "Treasures of Nature" High Jewelry appreciation, just as each precious stone in the Maison's High Jewelry creations is a masterpiece of nature. The mountains and rivers are clear, and the light and shadow are changing, highlighting the natural purity of the Maison's treasures.
Paying homage to the beauty of its own personality with its magnificent colour and soul, the Maison has launched the Pierres de Caractère and Pierres de Caractère - Variations High Jewelry collections, which are a feast for the senses through the ancient art of alchemy. Relying on the ingenuity of the Maison's craftsmen, natural diamonds are transformed into magnificent treasures, composing a chapter of "natural treasures". The Maison's Lesotho Legend, the world's fifth-largest rough diamond, has been transformed into the Legend of diamonds collection through the creation of more than 200 creative cutting options in a diamond cutting workshop. Drawing inspiration from the European theme of the Grand Tour, the Maison has incorporated art, architecture, music and natural curiosities into its High Jewellery designs to create the Le Grand Tour-themed High Jewellery collection. More than 100 High Jewellery creations are a multi-rhythmic gemstone variation with a variety of personalities and textures.
A legendary diamond
The Maison is particularly fond of diamonds of exceptional quality and seeks to enhance them through their design and setting. The Maison has encountered the world's fifth-largest rough diamond and renounced the Lesotho Legend. The rough stone is unpolished, and the fineness reaches the D grade, which is a near-colorless Type 2A rough stone. The Maison's designers, gemologists and High Jewellery workshops have collaborated to create two chapters in the Legend of diamonds collection: the 25-piece Mystery Set and the White diamond variations, a tribute to the praise of diamonds. Iconic in the Legend of diamonds - 25-piece Mystery Set High Jewellery collection, the Chevron Mystérieux necklace is inspired by 1950s fashion and the tiered eveningwear that was popular at the time. Three graceful pear-shaped diamonds flow like delicate dew drops among the colourful gemstones. In keeping with the Maison's tradition of transformable jewelry, the necklace can be worn in six ways, with a central diamond that can be suspended from a chain to create a pendant, and two other diamonds that can be used to adorn the earrings.
Magnificent and charming emeralds
Adhering to exacting selection criteria and insight into the unique personality of the gemstones, the Maison makes up the Emeraude en majesté theme High Jewellery collection. Emeralds are carefully selected to set crowns, necklaces, bracelets, bracelets or rings to express their unique personality. Each piece is crafted to bring out the gemstone's extraordinary charm to the fullest. The Maddalena necklace and detachable motif are inspired by Raphael's Portrait of a Young Woman Holding a Unicorn, painted in 1505. Inspired by this, the Maison created the eponymous Maddalena necklace, a tribute to the great artists of the Renaissance.
Blazing and intense rubies
Over the years, the Maison has searched for more than 3,000 carats of certified rubies to create the Treasure of Rubies-themed High Jewellery collection, which celebrates the preciousness and fiery color of rubies. Whether it's the bright red flowers, the crimson ribbons or the deep red cashew flowers, the red legends celebrate the Maison's prowess in a red tale. The Jardin de rubis necklace and detachable brooch are coveted by a diamond-encrusted ring that connects rubies, diamonds and pink diamonds. At the heart of the necklace pendant is an extraordinary 18.12-carat ruby that illuminates the most enchanting dreams of summer, with dimensions and cuts at the highest level, with subtle gradients depending on the brightness of the surrounding light, and a deep pink in the white light that can also be transformed into a deep red in the sun.
A variety of colorful sapphires
The Maison celebrates the stars with the Sous les étoiles-themed High Jewellery collection. More than 150 High Jewellery treasures refresh the historical source of inspiration and recreate the sparkling beauty of the void in a dreamy and dazzling design. This Flammes de Neptune ring transforms the mystical face of Neptune, the eighth planet in the solar system, into a deep blue reflected in a 40.52-carat sapphire. This rare and large gemstone has a precious quality that collectors will only be looking for.
