The gallery exhibits a rich collection of jewels among which the precious Peacock diadem by Philippe Wolfers (Brussels, 1858-1929) in gold, silver, diamonds, enamel and opal with a singular history stands out. Patricia De Wit had initially acquired the peacock brooch from descendants of L\u00e9opold Kronacher, nee Marie-Laure Brunard (she was decidedly ahead of her time), who had personally commissioned the piece from Philippe Wolfers. The precious peacock was later recognized as the central element of a diadem. The peacock was in fact detachable to be worn as a brooch and traces of the original setting of the diadem had been lost.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_112572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-112572\" style=\"width: 709px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Van-Cleef-Arpels-Diamond-necklace-wearable-into-bracelets-and-brooch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Van-Cleef-Arpels-Diamond-necklace-wearable-into-bracelets-and-brooch.jpg\" alt=\"Collana in oro rosa e diamanti trasformabile di Van Cleef &amp; Arpels \" width=\"709\" height=\"579\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112572\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Van-Cleef-Arpels-Diamond-necklace-wearable-into-bracelets-and-brooch.jpg 709w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Van-Cleef-Arpels-Diamond-necklace-wearable-into-bracelets-and-brooch-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Van-Cleef-Arpels-Diamond-necklace-wearable-into-bracelets-and-brooch-480x392.jpg 480w, https:\/\/gioiellis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Van-Cleef-Arpels-Diamond-necklace-wearable-into-bracelets-and-brooch-612x500.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-112572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Collana in oro rosa e diamanti trasformabile di Van Cleef &#038; Arpels<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nThanks to the image published by a magazine of the time it was possible to reconstruct the jewel that will be presented for the first time at Brafa 2023. Philippe Wolfers often inserted semi-precious stones in his creations: in this case the body of the peacock is carved in an opal , of which he loved the delicate play of color and semi-transparency. According to the archives, the diadem was made in 1902-1903 and is one of the rare unique pieces by the Belgian master, particularly sought after by collectors from all over the world. Philippe Wolfers&#8217; jewels can be found in major museums around the world, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Art (USA), the Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim (Germany) and the Royal Museums of Art &amp; History (Brussels, Belgium).<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_112573\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-112573\" style=\"width: 709px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
