Van Cleef & Arpels

Van Cleef & Arpels is a prestigious French luxury jewelry, watch, and perfume company founded in 1896 by Alfred Van Cleef and his uncle Salomon Arpels. The company is famous for its innovative use of gem-setting techniques, such as the Mystery Setting (also known as the Serti Mysterieux), where gemstones are set without visible prongs, giving the illusion of a continuous surface of gems.

The brand is renowned for its nature-inspired designs, which often incorporate motifs like flowers, animals, and celestial bodies. One of the most iconic and recognizable collections by Van Cleef & Arpels is the Alhambra collection. Launched in the 1960s, it features cloverleaf-shaped motifs made from various materials like mother-of-pearl, onyx, and diamonds.

Over the years, the brand has attracted a significant following of high-profile clients, including royalty, celebrities, and socialites, who appreciate the brand's elegance and craftsmanship. Van Cleef & Arpels has also ventured into the world of fragrances, creating a range of perfumes that often echo the brand's themes of luxury, elegance, and timeless beauty.
