Van Cleef & Arpels

Founded in 1906 on the famous Place Vendôme, Van Cleef & Arpels is a jewelry company, famous not only for its jewelry, but also for the process of their manufacture.

It was in the workshops of Van Cleef & Arpels that the innovative technique of Mystery Setting (a jewelry technique that allows you to hide the metal nest in which the jewel is set) and the famous Zip zipper necklace, commissioned by Wallis Simpson, were invented.

Today, as the company owns boutiques around the world and has admirers both in the royal family and among show business stars, the love story of the jewelry house founders, Alfred Van Cleef and Estelle Arpels, continues to inspire every design of the company with a refined romance and unique Van Cleef & Arpels philosophy: time is renewal.

Conveying an era of craftsmanship and knowledge into contemporary jewelry, the designers continue to put precious gems into amazing and sensual forms with the help of “enigmatic inlaying”, no less striking us with touching watch designs.
