Two, excellent design and technology

(1) Unique design style
Van Cleef & Arpels draws inspiration from elements such as nature and dance, and its works are full of poetry and elegance. Among them, the ballerina brooch has become a classic symbol. The Ballet Fairy provides inspiration for Van Cleef & Arpels’ new work in the Ballet Precieux fine jewellery collection. This brooch, with bright yellow sapphires, pink sapphires and diamonds, sets up a swaying dance dress and frames the graceful posture of the ballerina on tiptoe. In the early 1940s, the first Van Cleef & Arpels ballet pin appeared in New York and has since become a traditional classic. These brooches show the lightness and agility of ballerinas as they dance, and rose-cut diamond faces are adorned with precious headdresses, as well as shoes and dresses set with diamonds or colored gemstones. For example, Justine Ballet dancer brooch wears a bright dance dress made of pure white diamonds, which moves smoothly and dances lightly; The Aile Mysterieuse Fairy pin combines the body shape of the sphenowing fairy with the ethereal wings. The Tutu Rubis ballerina Pin reproduces the elegant and vivid movements of the dancers, perfectly capturing the art of dance and the charm of pleasure.
(2) Exquisite technology
Van Cleef & Arpels has exquisite technology, among which the Mystery Set™ hidden setting process shows the brilliance of the gem. In 1933, Van Cleef & Arpels applied for a patent for the hidden Mosaic it had developed. This process is able to show the extreme bright side of the stone, while cleverly hiding the precious metal claw set, perfectly highlighting the beautiful state of the stone. Each stone is carefully selected not only according to color, size, clarity and cut, but also perfectly matches the overall artistic style and harmonious beauty of the work. The master artisan carefully inspects and adjusts the position of each stone through a microscope to ensure that the setting is accurate. The whole process is meticulous, involving multiple steps, one by one, hundreds of gems are set on the grid base, whether it is a gorgeous flower petal, or an elegant tutu, can be perfectly presented. In addition, Van Cleef & Arpels also has mirror polishing and other processes to further enhance the texture and gloss of the work.
