An eternal inspiration for Van Cleef & Arpels, the floral world has played an integral role in the Parisian jeweller’s repertoire since its founding in 1906. The maison has encapsulated the ephemeral beauty of flora – its infinite shades, forms and nuances – imbuing jewellery pieces with exuberance and poetic grace. The savoir-faire of jewellers, gem-setters and polishers come together to breathe life into intricate creations, be it artfully capturing the freshness of a bouquet or interpreting the gentle curves of a peony’s petals in precious stones and gold.
Presented in 2003 as a contemporary depiction of floral designs reimagined from Van Cleef & Arpels’ archives, the Frivole collection stands out with its distinctive graphic yet airy aesthetic. Featuring heart-shaped petals in mirror-polished gold or diamond pavé, the luminous blooms play on light and reflection, as if dancing in the gentle spring breeze on a sunny day.
