Specialist note

BIRD OF PARADISE
Van Cleef & Arpels has been known to use gemstones to portray a free, spontaneous and poetic nature in their jewels. Birds, perfect incarnation of that spirit, are a recurring inspiration for the Maison and a part of their legacy. Their first ‘Oiseau de paradis’ jewels were made in the 1920s.
