Two new jewellery collections from Van Cleef & Arpels draw on the maison’s enduring fascination with nature, marrying delicate design with meticulous craftsmanship
For Van Cleef & Arpels, nature has always been more than a theme; it is a constant source of imagination and renewal. This year, the French luxury jewellery maison enriches its poetic garden with two fresh collections: Flowerlace and Fleurs d’Hawaï. Together, they embody two facets of floral expression—the former luminous in gold and diamonds, the latter radiant and almost bursting in colour. Both reveal the brand’s mastery of craftsmanship, its sensitivity to movement, and its distinctive way of translating nature into timeless elegance.

The airy grace of Flowerlace
The Flowerlace collection distils the outline of a blooming corolla into five creations: a ring, a Between the Finger ring, earrings, a pendant, and a transformable clip pendant. Each piece captures the interplay between light and form, combining yellow gold with the brilliance of diamonds. The result is an effect like that of petals bathed in sunlight.
The design is rooted in Van Cleef & Arpels’ history: the airy silhouettes recall the Silhouette clips of the late 1930s Art Deco creations that abandoned strict naturalism for a more stylised floral form. At the same time, the new jewels resonate with the maison’s Flowerlace high jewellery collection launched in 2007, where lace-like diamond compositions echoed couture techniques.

Craftsmanship plays a central role in realising this delicate vision. Using lost-wax casting, artisans sculpt and shape gold into fluid forms, before hand-setting diamonds selected to the maison’s exacting standards—D to F in colour, IF to VVS in clarity. The pistils feature golden beads alongside stones of varying sizes, lending each piece a naturalistic asymmetry. The curved petals, polished by hand to catch and reflect light, create a sense of movement, as though stirred by a gentle breeze.
The Between the Finger ring exemplifies this dynamism, bringing a diamond and a flower together in a luminous tête-à-tête. Here, Van Cleef & Arpels’ attention to detail is evident: prongs finished with a bead-like touch enhance the jewellery’s curved lines and soft reflections.

Fleurs d’Hawaï: an ode to colour
If Flowerlace celebrates light, Fleurs d’Hawaï bursts forth in colour. Inspired by lush, sun-drenched gardens, this collection pairs vibrant gemstones with the radiance of gold. Rings, earrings, pendants, and secret watches blossom with generous corollas, each composed of carefully selected pear-cut stones.
The maison has chosen five gemstones to feature for their vibrancy and clarity: citrine, amethyst, rhodolite, aquamarine, and peridot. Each stone is matched for intensity and uniformity, ensuring that the corollas glow with harmonious colour. Citrine radiates warmth, amethyst mesmerises with purple depths, rhodolite offers vivid pink tones, aquamarine shimmers with crystalline light, and peridot brings fresh green vitality.

The craftsmanship of these pieces heightens their natural radiance. Openwork mounts, created through lost-wax casting, allow light to flow through the stones, while raised pistils of diamonds and golden beads create a lively interplay of reflections. The result is a composition that feels full of movement, just like flowers in the wild.
Among the highlights are the secret watches, each blooming with a corolla of twelve perfectly matched stones around a mother-of-pearl dial edged in diamonds. Concealed beneath a pivoting motif, the timepiece reflects Van Cleef & Arpels’ love of mystery and transformability. The watch face can be hidden, while the entire flower may be detached and worn as a bracelet, pendant, or clip—recalling the ingenuity of the Maison’s Passe-Partout jewels from 1938.

With Flowerlace and Fleurs d’Hawaï, Van Cleef & Arpels continues a tradition that stretches back to its earliest years. Archival pieces such as a Daisy brooch from 1907 and the colourful Hawaii jewels of the 1940s show how flowers have long been at the heart of the Maison’s style. Over the decades, this fascination has yielded both naturalistic and stylised interpretations—from the velvety petals of a Mystery Set Peony clip of 1937 to the joyful blooms of the Rose de Noël and Frivole collections.
These new creations honour that lineage while offering fresh expressions of beauty. Flowerlace brings a luminous lightness, as if sketching flowers in gold and diamonds, while Fleurs d’Hawaï offers a more exuberant vision, full of colour and vitality. Together, they enrich Van Cleef & Arpels’ dreamlike garden; one that continues to flourish with life and imagination.
