Nature in bloom: van cleef & arpels presents flowerlace

Van Cleef & Arpels is pleased to present Flowerlace, a luminous collection that expresses the grace of flowers. 

With a light touch, the Flowerlace collection sketches the outline of an openwork corolla. It combines the radiance of yellow gold with the sparkle of diamonds to express the vibrancy of nature beloved by the Maison. The petals shine intensely, as if bathed in sunlight. The lines that form an elegantly rounded flower evoke the fluidity of a ribbon, illustrating another iconic Van Cleef & Arpels theme: couture. 

Five creations bloom within this new collection: a ring, a Between the Finger ring, a pair of earrings, a pendant, and a clip pendant that can be worn in two different ways.  To bring these creations to life, the Maison's craftsmen united their savoir-faire. Using the ancestral technique of lost-wax casting, the elements that make up the motif are first sculpted in wax and then worked by hand by the jeweler, before being set with gems and polished.

These creations are inspired by the Silhouette clips created by the Maison in the late 1930s, while echoing the eponymous High Jewelry collection, which also combines nature with couture. Created I 2007, it presents a dialogue between white gold and diamonds on pieces imbued with ethereal elegance.
