In Fleurs d’Hawaï, Van Cleef & Arpels unveils an endless garden where time dissolves into colour, and every petal becomes a whisper of eternal beauty
1 / 1
The quiet wonder found in watching a flower bloom, mirrored in the sparkle of a precious gem. This harmony lies at the heart of Fleurs d’Hawaï, Van Cleef & Arpels' new collection. Here, time seems to soften, its edges blurred by colour. Each petal, delicate and luminous, offers a fleeting glimpse of the infinite.
Amid the radiance of the tropics, where sunlight dances across leaves and colour bursts forth from every blossom, Fleurs d’Hawaï finds its muse. In this lush and luminous setting, Van Cleef & Arpels captures the untamed beauty of nature and translates it into a symphony of gemstones. The collection is a tribute to the maison’s enduring devotion to craftsmanship, where every jewel becomes a rare bloom, a poetic fusion of earth, light and sky. Carefully selected stones shimmer with movement and life, transforming into blossoms that feel tender, spontaneous, and endlessly refined. Like a gentle refrain, each piece tells a story of fleeting beauty made timeless; a quiet celebration for those who discover meaning in elegance, and grace in even the smallest of everyday moments.

Since the creation of its chrysanthemum brooch in 1907, and through celebrated designs such as Rose de Noël and Folie des Prés, Van Cleef & Arpels has regarded flowers not merely as motifs, but as the soul of its artistry. In these creations, the boundary between jewellery and nature quietly disappears, giving rise to an experience both intimate and lyrical.
When nature is reborn in jewellery
Inspired by gardens in full tropical bloom, Fleurs d’Hawaï is a celebration of nature at its most vibrant. Each piece mimics the tender curve of a budding flower, crafted from pear-cut gems, sparkling diamond stamens, and supple gold leaves. The effect is one of lightness and motion, like blossoms stirred by a warm breeze.
Colour becomes its own language in this collection, told through five refined gemstones: citrine, radiant with the warmth of a golden afternoon; amethyst, awash in dreamy purple tones; rhodolite, deep pink and bold, yet unfailingly elegant; aquamarine, cool and transparent as a summer stream; and peridot, light green and luminous, evoking springtime that never fades.

These hues serve as more than ornamental accents: they form a quiet dialogue between nature, time, and emotion.
Behind each blossom lies the patient work of the atelier’s artisans. Using the ancient technique of lost-wax casting, the gold structure is hollowed to allow light to play across each gemstone, illuminating their tones and animating every petal. At the heart of each flower, seven diamonds nestle within raised golden beads delicately poised to catch and reflect the light.

One of the collection’s quiet triumphs lies in its illusion of motion within stillness. The petals appear to stretch gently upward, as though drawn to the sun. The softly curved gold leaves introduce a subtle, elegant and organic asymmetry, giving each bloom its own distinct character.

When the watch becomes a secret flower
Though time is invisible, Van Cleef & Arpels has given it a form as delicate as a flower. In three secret watches, time is hidden behind a bouquet of rotating blossoms, with white mother-of-pearl dials discreetly framed in diamonds.
Each timepiece becomes a floral wreath of twelve pear-cut stones: citrine set in yellow gold, rhodolite with rose gold, aquamarine in white gold. These radiant pairings not only brighten the wrist but stir the senses, a quiet rhythm of time told in the hue of a petal.

Notably, the design allows for transformation: the floral element can be detached and worn as a pendant, bracelet or clip. This reflects a long-standing Van Cleef & Arpels tradition dating back to the 1930s: jewellery that evolves, adapting to the mood or moment.

Fleurs d’Hawaï is more than a collection; it is a tribute to nature’s grace, with each gem a petal, each design a memory suspended in time. In this garden of light and craft, women are not merely adorned; they become storytellers, bearing tales spun from colour and brilliance.
And somewhere, beyond the noise of everyday life, the flowers continue to bloom on the wrist, near the ear, or quietly, in the hearts of those who know how to see.
