About Van Cleef & Arpels brand
Van Cleef & Arpels, a prestigious French luxury jewelry and watchmaking Maison, opened their
first boutique in 1906. Ever since, the brand’s jewelry has been worn and beloved by celebrities
and royalty.
Founded by a daughter of a precious stone dealer and a son of a stone cutter, Estelle Arpels and
Alfred Van Cleef, the brand was meant to be big the jewelry world. Press used to call the power
couple union “The Maison based on love.”
Before Art Deco was pronounced as a style, VCA brand was known for their skillfully made,
bold geometric pieces. Later, during the century, the maker mastered this design approach to the
top-notch jewelry level. The experimental spirit, fearless usage of the exotic materials and truly
unique gemstone combinations brought Van Cleef & Arpels to the top three of the jewelry
worlds.
One of the most distinctive aspects of Van Cleef & Arpels’ philosophy is applying storytelling
and thematic elements to their design. Many of the VCA collections draw inspiration from fairy
tales and exotic locales, infusing each piece with a narrative. The brand's Alhambra collection,
for instance, features the iconic quatrefoil motif inspired by the four-leaf clover, symbolizing
luck, health, fortune, and love. This mix of artistic expression and meaningful storytelling adds a
unique depth to their designs, making Van Cleef & Arpels' creations wearable works of art that
resonate on an emotional level.
In order to make this prestigious jewelry affordable not only for a prestige clientele, Nadine
Krakov Collection offers a wide selection of estate Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry without the high
markups.
