A quartet of bracelets by Van Cleef & Arpels takes lapidary lovers on an architectural tour of Italy

The Wrist Has to Travel

When 18th-century gentlemen headed to Europe to partake of the Grand Tour-a crucial step in a civilizing education-they often recorded cultural sites in charming paintings, in much the same way that today's globe-trotters snap away with smartphones. Van Cleef & Arpels, the Paris jeweler that was founded in 1906, has taken those watercolor reveries as inspiration for a new array of treasures: four bracelets set with impressionistic combinations of gemstones-sapphires, diamonds, emeralds, and more-that evoke the landscapes of Rome, Florence, Naples, and Venice.

Lights Fantastic

Lighting sculptor Stephen White constructed more than 2,000 works over his six-decade career, at least one a staggering 18 feet tall, yet his meticulous scrapbooks contain scant evidence of public recognition. A few newspaper clippings from Hawaii and the West Coast sit next to a single national magazine cover, nearly half a century old the logo obscuring White's (uncredited) design

CUTTING A RUG

Even during Sweden's famously long and bitter-cold winter, the dining room at Beata Heuman’s 18th-century family farmhouse bursts with life thanks to the hand-painted mural of tulips, lilies, dahlias, and fruit trees—all a nod to flora on the property grounds, much of it planted by her mom. Now, the AD100 designer has teamed up with the British wall covering brand de Gournay to bring that tableau (ever so slightly tweaked) into production. Heuman says of the collaboration, which also includes Delft Folly, her riff on the classic Dutch blue-and-white tiles. degournay.com
