With a light touch, the Van Cleef & Arpels Flowerlace collection sketches the outline of an openwork corolla, combining the radiance of yellow gold with the sparkle of diamonds.

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, demonstrating the Maison’s taste for transformable pieces.

The petals are gently curved to add volume to the composition, while the pistil features golden beads and different sized diamonds to
create a subtly asymmetrical composition that expresses the idea of nature in motion. The structure of each piece and the relief of the curves make the polishing stage, carried out by hand, particularly delicate. Precision and patience are required to reveal yellow gold’s full radiance, which interacts with the sparkle of the diamonds to create intense reflections on the skin.

These creations follow two esthetics that are emblematic of Van Cleef & Arpels. On the one hand, the new pieces are inspired by the Silhouette clips created by the Maison in the late 1930s. On the other hand, the new Flowerlace pieces echo the eponymous High Jewelry collection, which also combines nature with couture. Created in 2007, it presents a dialogue between white gold and diamonds on pieces imbued with ethereal elegance.
