Van Cleef & Arpels at the Biennale
Van Cleef &
Arpels' high jewellery being shown at the
Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris is inspired by
the writings of French master of fantastical voyages, Jules Vernes
and his extraordinary journeys. From oozing magma from the centre
of the earth to the great sights of world as viewed from the basket
of a hot air balloon, blue planets with diamond orbits and writhing
sea creatures, this eclectic collection pushes to the limits the
creativity and workmanship of Van Cleef's Paris ateliers.
