Beverly Hills is a famous place for the concentration of celebrities from the entertainment world who live there. No wonder, then, that the city near Los Angeles hosts an exhibition dedicated to fine jewelry. In particular, to Van Cleef & Arpels, a brand that has landed in America in 1939, with its first boutique in New York. In Berverly Hills, the Parisian brand arrived in 1970. The Maison has been happy to be there (customers are not lacking), so much so that he even created an entire collection of fine jewelry, California Reverie, inspired by the landscape of the Golden State. Now Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates with an exhibition (until March 2) some of his most famous pieces. If you’re there, you can go to see, admission is free. The exhibition is divided into four themes: Nature, Couture, Exoticism and Dancers. There are also many pieces belonging to private collections. One of the most important pieces in the section dedicated to nature, for example, is suite-Reine Margeuerites, dated around 1990-1993, which was part of the collection of Elizabeth Taylor. Not missing, of course, the now legendary series zip, idea to the Duchess of Windsor, who in 1938 asked Renée Puissant, artistic director of the House from 1926 to 1942 and the daughter of Alfred Van Cleef, to create a jewel inspired by the hinge.
