Flowerlace, the Delicate Jeweled Flower by Van Cleef & Arpels
The event took place at the very beginning of summer, in the greenhouses and flower-filled gardens of Dumfries House, in Scotland.
A launch to which the entire international press was invited to discover Van Cleef & Arpels' Flowerlace jewelry collection, whose fluid gold lines draw inspiration once again from the exceptional heritage of the maison . "Flowerlace offers an abstract interpretation of the flower, born from a 1937 clip centered around the motif of the gold ribbon," explains Catherine Rénier, CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels, in an interview featured in GEM-T N°1. "This thread evokes both sewing and the natural world, as if a ribbon were unfolding into petals. This duality reflects the wealth of inspiration that nature provides to the maison ." Delicately curved volumes, pistils set with diamonds, and subtle plays of light outline the designs of this jewelry collection that's suitable for all occasions. Rings, earrings, or pendants that can be transformed into clips... Each creation expresses the elegance of nature in motion, sculpted by exceptional jewelry craftsmanship, and every detail is highlighted with infinite delicacy.
