VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
Literature holds a wealth of
inspiration for the French jeweller iconic for
its poetic masterpieces. This year, Van Cleef
& Arpels revisits a Shakespearean classic
for its latest high jewellery creations—one
that is actually a founding theme that the
maison once looked to in its beginnings.
The well-loved story of young love torn by
feuding families makes a poignant backdrop
for its Romeo and Juliet high jewellery
collection, which has taken key elements of
the tragic yet romantic tale and transformed
them into exquisite creations that carry the
maison’s distinctive brand of sentimentality.
