Van Cleef & Arpels has a rich history of innovation and prestige, resulting in remarkable creations and flawless gemstones that have long graced some of the most prominent figures throughout history – think Princess Grace Kelly, Princess Aga Khan, Romy Schneider and Elizabeth Taylor. Over the years, the maison has offered us a glimpse of the pieces once worn by these phenomenal personalities and through exhibitions across the globe, has unveiled its world of creativity and savoir-faire, including its latest patrimonial exhibition in the Middle East.
Titled “Van Cleef & Arpels, Enchanting Green Stones”, the exhibition shines the spotlight on 28 creations adorned with green gemstones – think emerald, peridot, chrysoprase and malachite – varying from the Art Deco period to contemporary pieces from the 2000s era.
Held at its iconic boutique Les Salons Dubai Opera, the exhibition presents a captivating array of gemstones glistening in infinite shades of green on necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings and brooches – each a true testimony to Van Cleef & Arpels’ savoir-faire in making transformable pieces.
