Enchanting sources of inspiration

Van Cleef & Arpels came into being at Paris’ 22 Place Vendôme in 1906, marking the debut of a bejewelled destiny and a worldwide reference for high jewellery and watchmaking.

Drawing inspiration from nature, couture and imaginary worlds, its creations are a gateway to a timeless universe of beauty and harmony. Enchanting jewellery and watchmaking collections are created through the selection of gemstones according to the most valued criteria and the savoir-faire of craftsmen.
