Meet Van Cleef & Arpels Garden of Delights

Expressing the awakening of nature, Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates the arrival of spring with a garden of delights

Since its beginnings, Van Cleef & Arpels has drawn inspiration from the vitality of nature. The French Maison has had a beautiful habit of turning botanical and nature motifs and references into precious objects and jewellery, fostering an understanding of delicate feminine beauty.

Memorialising the beauty of botanicals and nature, the Van Cleef & Arpels Lucky Spring collection is steeped in poetry, wonder and a spring awakening. Playful and feminine, the Maison binds together motifs of lily of the valley buds, ladybugs and blossomed plums motifs to initiate the beginning of the blooming season. Each motif was artfully arranged to create bracelets, pendants, earrings and clips—all of which exude luck and joy. With brilliant carnelian, deep black onyx and iridescent white mother-of-pearl harmonising each piece of jewellery, the creations are perfect for those who want to accentuate their wings.

For those who prefer to bid ode with a different set of motifs, you can still look to the Maison for it. Embodying luck and positivity, the Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra collection blooms in adversity with its four-leaf clover motif that’s adorned with a border of golden beads—a creation that represents the pinnacle of the Maison’s savoir-faire. A celebrated icon since 1968, these pieces should be on top of your list. Be it a bracelet, pendant, earring or clip—this collection exudes a timeless attitude with an exuberant colour palette.

Bridging the gap between haute joaillerie and the beaux-arts, the Maison represented the very best in artistry, creativity, and exceptional craftsmanship with these cascades of nature.
