Van Cleef & Arpels invites visitors to Les Salons Dubai Opera to discover the Maison's deep-rooted connection to the world of dance through its latest patrimonial exhibition: Ballerinas by Van Cleef & Arpels. On display from May 15th to June 30th, 2025, the gallery showcases a curated selection of dancer clips, capturing the timeless grace and elegance of dance.
A tribute to Louis Arpels' passion for ballet, the first Dancer clip was introduced in 1941. Since then, dance has remained a recurring theme in the Maison's heritage, inspiring creations that reflect the poise, strength, and fluidity of movement. These emblematic feminine figures—crafted in yellow gold for daily elegance or adorned with diamonds set on platinum for evening splendor—embody the Maison's signature style. Each ballerina is distinguished by delicate features: rose-cut diamond or golden bead faces, bejeweled hair ornaments, dainty pointe shoes, and airy tutus that appear to float mid-pirouette.
The Van Cleef & Arpels Archives house sketches of dancers, revealing the precision and artistry behind capturing motion in miniature. These drawings provide a rare glimpse into the design process and underscore the Maison's dedication to transforming ephemeral moments into eternal treasures.
