Van Cleef & Arpels Bracelets

Mystery, luck and the natural world inspire the elegant design of Van Cleef & Arpels bracelets. The French luxury house was founded on a love story — the marriage of a precious stone dealer’s daughter, Estelle Arpels, to the son of a diamond cutter, Alfred Van Cleef, in 1895 led to the creation of Van Cleef & Arpels, and its first shop opened in Paris in 1906.

Over a century later, the brand provides a fresh take on its enduring motifs as well as innovations that show off high-quality rare stones and expert gem settings. Bracelets are just one of its acclaimed jewelry offerings.

At Van Cleef, bracelets range from the understated Perlée bracelets with loops of golden beads to the extravagant Mystery Set pieces created through an intricate and laborious technique patented in 1933 for holding dazzling rows of precious stones, such as sapphires and emeralds, on a hidden gold-rail setting. This can take a skilled jeweler up to eight hours to accomplish.

In addition to the modern-day attention that British royals have lavished upon necklaces from the maison’s Alhambra collection, various Van Cleef bracelets have accrued high-profile admirers over the years too. A stately platinum, pearl and diamond bracelet was part of the wedding set gifted by Prince Rainier III to Grace Kelly for their 1956 marriage; a decadent ruby and diamond buckle-like cuff produced by Van Cleef & Arpels for Marlene Dietrich in 1937 made an eye-catching appearance on the actress’s wrist in the 1950 Alfred Hitchcock film Stage Fright.

Many of the most popular Van Cleef bracelets have been interpretations of natural forms, such as the house's Alhambra bracelets. Based on a four-leaf clover, the Alhambra motif was introduced in 1968 on a long gold chain. The Camellia Ruby convertible bracelet features radiant flowers with petals made from tiers of non-heat-treated rubies and diamonds. Whether it’s the playful Lucky Alhambra bracelet, with its dangling charms of good fortune, or the elaborate bracelet in the 2017 Le Secret collection that can change its colors from onyx to mother-of-pearl as if by magic, each Van Cleef & Arpels accessory is a wearable work of art.

About Van Cleef & Arpels Brand: Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry has been worn by celebrities and royalty since the first boutique opening in 1906. Being 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 in the jewelry world. Press used to call the power couple union “The Maison based on love”. Even 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 Maisons of the jewelry world. In order to make this prestigious jewelry affordable not only for an affluent clientele, Nadine Krakov Collection offers a wide selection of estate Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry without the high markups. About Vintage French Jewelry: Vintage French jewelry is highly valued by jewelry experts and enthusiasts. Since the late Renaissance, France has been established itself as one of the world trendsetters in art and fashion. A quick look at the top 5 French jewelry designers — Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Hermes, Chaumet, Chanel — describes French level of greatness even better. What allowed France to reach such a high level in the jewelry world hierarchy? In a nutshell, it’s because of the apprenticeship system. In the beginning of 1950s in France anyone at the age 14 could start learning the craft. This way French jewelers, like no others in the world, gain a substantial portion of experience at the early age. Even non-designer jewels were produced by the high skilled masters. Most modern jewelry is not handcrafted anymore, and mass market-oriented production is prevailing. Jewelry designs are streamlined to use as less hand labor as possible. That’s why today vintage French jewelry is in such high demand. About Coral Jewelry: Once considered as a plant, coral acquired the nickname “garden of the sea”. In fact, coral is a branch formed by microscopic species called the coral polyp. It grows in the ocean and forms massive colonies. In different cultures wearing coral has different meanings. In Slavic countries coral beads were a part of the national costumes. The ancient Romans believed coral protected their kids from danger. Same in Italy, where in the beginning of 20th century coral jewelry was believed to be an anti-evil eye protection. Today coral is worn as a chic accessory with meaning and admired for its exceptional natural beauty. The silky coral texture and a variety of coral colors attract jewelry lovers all over the world. The value of vintage coral jewelry...
