Description
A luminous composition by the renowned French maison Van Cleef & Arpels, this necklace masterfully balances softness and brilliance through the interplay of cultured pearls, rock crystal, rubies, and diamonds. It reflects the House’s enduring commitment to elegance, refinement, and innovation in material harmony.
The necklace features two graduated strands of cultured pearls, each delicately matched for luster and proportion, measuring approximately 4.29mm to 4.97mm. Interspersed with diamond-set motifs in brilliant-cut settings, the composition offers a subtle rhythm of sparkle against the opalescent glow of the pearls.
At its center, a striking pendant showcases a cabochon ruby poised atop a polished rock crystal disc—its translucency acting as a stage for the vivid hue of the gemstone. The effect is ethereal, architectural, and unmistakably Van Cleef. A matching clasp, also set with a cabochon ruby framed in brilliant-cut diamonds, completes the design with understated luxury.
Signed VCA and numbered, with French assay marks for gold, this jewel captures the maison’s poetic language of light and form. Both wearable and collectible, it is a serene yet confident statement of French artistry—where nature’s purity meets human craftsmanship in radiant balance.
