An Ode to Paris: Van Cleef & Arpels Jewelry
Collections of this brand celebrate Paris: its beauty, grandeur, unique architecture and romantic scenery, which it offers its visitors. The brand was first established in 1896 and has since become a decorative item on the hands or necks of many ladies with famous names, e.g. Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and Wallis, the Duchess of Windsor, represent only a fraction of these.
Une Journée à Paris
This collection is entitled “One Day in Paris”. This is not simply a collection of beautiful luxurious jewellery, but actually an ode to this unique city, which is aptly defined as the City of Light. Why not stroll through Magical Paris along the elegant streets and visit the Eiffel Tower, the Jardin des Tuileries, the Opera Garnier and the Place Vendôme, the actual location that gave birth to the brand itself. There in 1906, at number 22, Alfred Van Cleef and Charles Arpels opened their very first luxury boutique.
Place Vendôme: The Place for Luxury
Since then the square has become synonymous with sophistication and an unmistakably French blend of simplicity and classicism. This was a style that was first embodied by Hélène Arpels, the wife of Charles’ brother, Louis, who was recognised for her elegance and refined taste.
Over the years, the Van Cleef & Arpels brand created numerous historical pieces that were inspired by Paris. Today it is primarily devoted to collections of luxurious jewellery and watches. With its dazzling array of diamonds, rubies, sapphires and garnets Une Journée à Paris will impress almost anyone.
Also worth seeing, however, are the other luxurious Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery items and watches that our gallery can offer you.
