This vintage Van Cleef & Arpels necklace is finely crafted in 18k yellow gold and features an elegant diamond design. The central element includes two curved sections that meet in the center, where a teardrop-shaped pendant hangs gracefully. Each section and the pendant are pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, forming a continuous surface that enhances the flowing lines of the necklace. The diamonds are arranged with precision to create an understated shimmer. This pendant-like part is suspended from a delicate 18k gold chain. This sophisticated design is a pure example of VCA’s refined approach to proportion and movement. The chain is 16” long, the tear-drop part is ⅝” x ⅜. The piece weighs 12.6 grams. About Van Cleef & Arpels Van Cleef & Arpels, a renowned French jewelry company, has been crafting exquisite pieces since opening its first boutique in 1906. Founded by Estelle Arpels, the daughter of a precious stone dealer, and Alfred Van Cleef, the son of a stone cutter, the Maison was built on a shared passion for fine jewelry. Their union was often described as “The Maison based on love,” a sentiment reflected in their designs. Even before Art Deco became a recognized style, Van Cleef jewelry was already defined by bold geometric shapes and expert craftsmanship. As the decades passed, the brand perfected this design approach, blending innovation with impeccable artistry. Their willingness to experiment with unconventional materials and unexpected gemstone pairings helped establish Van Cleef & Arpels as one of the leading names in high jewelry. A defining characteristic of Van Cleef & Arpels is its use of storytelling in design. Many collections take inspiration from fairy tales and faraway places, giving each creation a narrative quality. The iconic Alhambra collection, with its signature quatrefoil motif, symbolizes luck, health, fortune, and love. This artistic approach infuses Van Cleef jewelry with both beauty and meaning, transforming each piece into more than just an accessory, it becomes a story to wear and cherish.
