ìVan Cleef & Arpels in journey across the seven seas. Their latest collection is inspired by the myths and wonders of the waves that caress the world, admired and feared by surfers and nature lovers. The seas that inspired the Maison are the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Adriatic Sea, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Water basins that have been translated into pieces of haute joaillerie. Waves, but also fish, the mythical mermaids, seashells. Each sea have its own colors, and the jewels follow the wave with the use of stones in nuance. White diamonds and blacks, but also rubies and lapis lazuli, pearls and pink gold and white: between the fins that float gently around the fish, even the cut of the stones is chosen in tune with what they need to represent. A curiosity: in the jewels dedicated to the Adriatic Sea stands the ring Ancone, dedicated to Ancona, the capital of the Marche region. The ring, made up of brilliant-cut diamonds and baguette-cut sapphires, turquoise beads, with the addition of an octagonal 3.28 carat Colombian emerald, evokes the waves of the sea and the protected waters of the harbor. The pieces dedicated to the Indian Ocean instead are lost in arabesques reminiscent of the oriental atmosphere of those ports. The jewels that are dedicated to the Black Sea, as it was presumed, are made in black and white, while those who are inspired by the Red Sea using, pink sapphires, spinels and rubies. Happy surfing.
