Van Cleef & Arpels Articles

Founded in the legendary Place Vendôme in 1906 by Alfred Van Cleef & Estelle Arpels, the couple's love story infuses each of the Maison's designs. Van Cleef & Arpels is as famous for its fine jewellery as it is for its "mystery setting" technique and annual collections of high jewellery.
