Van Cleef & Arpels’ high jewellery ballerinas are an ode to dance
High jewellery becomes fluid with Van Cleef & Arpels’ ballerina clips, which capture the movement of dance in gold and precious stones
Van Cleef & Arpels’ history has long been intertwined with the world of dance, beginning with co-founder Louis Arpels’ regular visits to the Opéra Garnier in the 1920s, which was a short stroll from the Place Vendôme boutique. The clips, first created in the 1940s, draw ballerinas in tutus set with diamonds or precious stones, wearing elaborate head ornaments or clutching vivid props. In costumes from all over the world, from the South Pacific islands to the Far East, they are caught mid-twirl or pirouette, spinning over lapels and dresses in an explosion of colour.
