VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Diamond and Emerald Necklace with Detachable Brooch
A luminous and highly refined floral composition from VAN CLEEF & ARPELS, this elegant necklace is crafted in 18K yellow gold and articulated as a continuous garland of blossoming flower motifs. Each floral element is centered with vivid emeralds, alternating between richly saturated cabochon emeralds and finely cut emeralds encircled by brilliant-cut diamonds that lend radiance, depth, and movement throughout the design.
The necklace culminates in a dramatic, pendant-style flower cluster, where generously proportioned cabochon emeralds are layered among diamond-set petals in a sculptural, dimensional arrangement. The interplay between the velvety glow of cabochon emeralds, the crisp scintillation of faceted emeralds, and the brilliance of diamonds creates a composition that feels both opulent and graceful, with a distinctly romantic presence on the neckline.
A quintessential expression of Van Cleef & Arpels’ mastery of floral jewelry, this necklace exemplifies the maison’s ability to transform nature into timeless haute joaillerie. Fluid, balanced, and unmistakably elegant. Signed VCA, it stands as a collectible and enduring creation from one of the world’s most revered jewelry houses.
