The precious Fauna of Van Cleef & Arpels

Embodying a free and dynamic nature, birds have been a recurring theme in the history of Van Cleef & Arpels. Using a diverse palette of gemstones, these creations capture the energy and richness of the plumage of exotic birds. The choice of the parrot, portrayed in profile perched on its branch, evokes an era when enthusiasm for distant cultures and exotic nature shaped the world of design.

Van Cleef & Arpels' craftsmanship is showcased in this imposing brooch, adorned with chrysoprase, coral, and onyx cabochons. These delicate details reflect the Maison's enduring commitment to timeless elegance inspired by nature.
