One of the most beautiful lucky symbols within the Van Cleef & Arpels universe pays tribute to the delicate ladybug. A tender companion for everyday life, the ladybug adorns charms, clips, rings, and necklaces in shimmering colours, from orange-red coral and blue-toned touches of enamel to iridescent white mother-of-pearl, with polka dots of radiant gold, diamonds or rubies. Most recently, the ladybug is one of the stars in the maison's refreshed Lucky Spring collection, taking flight from delicate plum blossoms, lily of the valley buds and more. 

The light and ethereal ladybug also graces the maison's most iconic creations, including the secret watch, zip necklace, minaudière and more.
