Van Cleef Arpels Link Bracelets

Mystery, luck and the natural world inspire the elegant design of Van Cleef Arpels bracelets. The French luxury house was founded on a love story — the marriage of a precious stone dealer’s daughter, Estelle Arpels, to the son of a diamond cutter, Alfred Van Cleef, in 1895 led to the creation of Van Cleef Arpels, and its first shop opened in Paris in 1906.

Over a century later, the brand provides a fresh take on its enduring motifs as well as innovations that show off high-quality rare stones and expert gem settings. Bracelets are just one of its acclaimed jewelry offerings.

At Van Cleef, bracelets range from the understated Perlée bracelets with loops of golden beads to the extravagant Mystery Set pieces created through an intricate and laborious technique patented in 1933 for holding dazzling rows of precious stones, such as sapphires and emeralds, on a hidden gold-rail setting. This can take a skilled jeweler up to eight hours to accomplish.

In addition to the modern-day attention that British royals have lavished upon necklaces from the maison’s Alhambra collection, various Van Cleef bracelets have accrued high-profile admirers over the years too. A stately platinum, pearl and diamond bracelet was part of the wedding set gifted by Prince Rainier III to Grace Kelly for their 1956 marriage; a decadent ruby and diamond buckle-like cuff produced by Van Cleef Arpels for Marlene Dietrich in 1937 made an eye-catching appearance on the actress’s wrist in the 1950 Alfred Hitchcock film Stage Fright.

Many of the most popular Van Cleef bracelets have been interpretations of natural forms, such as the house's Alhambra bracelets. Based on a four-leaf clover, the Alhambra motif was introduced in 1968 on a long gold chain. The Camellia Ruby convertible bracelet features radiant flowers with petals made from tiers of non-heat-treated rubies and diamonds. Whether it’s the playful Lucky Alhambra bracelet, with its dangling charms of good fortune, or the elaborate bracelet in the 2017 Le Secret collection that can change its colors from onyx to mother-of-pearl as if by magic, each Van Cleef Arpels accessory is a wearable work of art.

    A few things are special about Van Cleef Arpels. The French luxury jewelry maker is noted for its longstanding focus on technical virtuosity, artisanship and artistry. The maker is also known for its innovative designs. In 1933, Van Cleef Arpels patented its trademark Mystery Setting, a technique by which gems are fitted into an intricate matrix of slots and "drawers" that keep the setting hidden. Another innovation was the Zip necklace, introduced in 1951, which can be worn either around the neck or, with the zipper closed, as a bracelet. Clients have also been drawn by the elegance and playfulness of Van Cleef Arpels designers, as well as their attunement to the cultural climate. Over the years, its pieces have drawn inspiration from current events, such as the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, the end of World War II and the 1960s interest in the Middle East and India.

    Van Cleef Arpels jewelry is so special because of the storied house’s focus on technical virtuosity, craftsmanship and artistry. Rather than create earrings, bracelets, necklaces and other adornments primarily for the aim of displaying wealth and opulence, Van Cleef Arpels sought to produce jewelry that projected the wearer’s taste and style. Born from a union of expertise in both jewelry making and gem selection, the jewelry house distinguishes itself with both the consistency of the color and clarity of its stones. The creativity of its designs and its unique innovations also make this luxury brand distinctive. In 1933, Van Cleef Arpels patented its trademark Mystery Setting, a technique by which gems are fitted into an intricate matrix of slots and “drawers” that keep the setting hidden. But as much as to the firm’s craftsmanship, clients have been drawn by the insouciance and playfulness of Van Cleef Arpels designers, as well as their attunement to the cultural climate.
