專家說明

ZIP NECKLACE
One of the most innovative jewels ever created, the Van Cleef & Arpels' Zip necklace is an iconic design. Legend has it that during the 1930s the Duchess of Windsor asked Renée Puissant, the creative director of the brand between 1926-1942, to create a jewelled zip fastener to wear with her evening gowns. Although the patent for the design was registered in 1938, it was not until 1951 that Van Cleef & Arpels presented the first Zip necklace.
