Van Cleef & Arpels was founded in 1896. Spirit and elegance: equally fascinating, equally difficult to define.
The spirit of the House of Van Cleef & Arpels, a subtle combination of values and styles, was born with the love story of Alfred Van Cleef and Estelle Arpels and enriched over the years by fraternity, fidelity, femininity, refinement, and a daring kind of elegance, all expressing a unique philosophy: time is renewal.
Nature captured in all its vitality, the poetry of couture, the magic of fairies and ballerinas, all has inspired astonishing pieces of jewelry that sublimely demonstrate the House’s technical mastery, legendary craftsmanship, and taste for innovation and transformations.
Today as always, Van Cleef & Arpels’ creations adorn celebrities and others, proving that one only needs to listen to one’s time to be part of it and that one can live a century and still be in tune with it today.
Van Cleef & Arpels enjoys a worldwide reputation for both the design and manufacture of high-quality jewelry and watches.
“Our aim is to offer excellence in all that we do,” once said Jacques Arpels.
