Inspired by nature's magical transformations, Van Cleef & Arpels continues to bring the grace of flora into its designs.
For this holiday season, the renowned jewelry house has enriched its Rose de Noël garden with four new pieces. Originally created in 1970, this collection celebrates the flower that blooms in winter, offering poetic compositions in the form of two pendants and two pairs of earrings crafted from gray mother-of-pearl and white gold or turquoise and yellow gold.
A Celebration of Nature's Energy
The Rose de Noël collection embodies the vitality of nature in the heart of winter. Each creation features six cabochon petals that appear to sway gently in the breeze. Asymmetrical motifs and layered structures enhance the sense of motion and volume. The flower’s centerpiece is crafted in three dimensions, with pistils made of fine gold threads set at varying heights and angles. At the heart, three diamonds add a subtle yet luxurious brilliance.
Expert Craftsmanship
The setting, available in yellow or white gold, is achieved using the ancient lost wax casting technique, reflecting the expertise of Van Cleef & Arpels artisans. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted and assembled, with polishing requiring exceptional precision due to the delicate nature of the elements.
Exquisite Gem Selection
Van Cleef & Arpels carefully selects gems that meet its timeless standards of quality. The gray mother-of-pearl is chosen for its uniform color and gentle iridescence, while the turquoise—formed by water passing through copper-rich rocks—brings refreshing tones ranging from soft to intense blues.
Each petal is shaped and polished to enhance its luster before being arranged into sets of six for pendants or twelve for earrings. The interplay of turquoise with yellow gold creates a vibrant contrast, while the depth of the gray mother-of-pearl is beautifully complemented by white gold.
A Legacy of Elegance
Since its debut in 1970 with coral and yellow gold pieces, the Rose de Noël collection has evolved into a rich spectrum of variations. Over time, designs featuring turquoise, onyx, and wood have emerged, while clip earrings, Between the Finger rings, and other pieces continue to honor nature as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the maison.
With a perfect blend of delicate petals and dazzling diamonds, these creations pay homage to nature and reflect the spirit of one of the most vibrant periods in art and fashion history. The Rose de Noël collection remains a symbol of luxury and masterful craftsmanship, making it an ideal choice for admirers of elegance and natural beauty.
