Like an enchanted souvenir, each of the Van Cleef & Arpels Le Grand Tour 2023 High Jewelry collection’s creations evokes the Grand Tour, a historical odyssey through the major cultural centers of Europe.

“This High Jewelry collection celebrates a tradition that has always fascinated us. At the beginning of the 20th century, when Van Cleef & Arpels was founded, curiosity for other cultures, periods and forms of art was a way to fuel one’s imagination and give rise to innovative creations.

We followed the trail of our predecessors and chose cities that were renowned stops historically. We took inspiration from antique jewelry – Roman, Etruscan, Medieval or Renaissance –, marrying it with our own heritage, style and craftsmanship. The result is like a colorful sketchbook that invites to dive into destinations and gemstones,” said Nicolas Bos, President and CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels.
