Amazing clips by Van Cleef & Arpels

Stylish and elegant are the clips by Van Cleef & Arpels. I fell in love with the ballerina clip, I would love to have it! It is just amazing, the design, the rocks and the finishing. It is designed in 1947 but timeless!

A jewelry piece in its own right, it embodies the Maison’s vision of femininity, timeless style and refinement. The exhibition brings together a multitude of motifs, shapes and color combinations typical of the years from 1920 to 2000, reflecting the privileged position this form of jewelry holds in the history of Van Cleef & Arpels.

As you know a love cats, also the wild ones. Isn't this clip just adorable?
