With its new Le Grand Tour High Jewelry collection, Van Cleef & Arpels is taking admirers on a journey through Europe’s history through the filtered, multi-faceted perspective of its finest and most precious gems. Beginning in London, England, passing by Paris, France and ending in Baden-Baden, Germany, the collection aims to reimagine the very same journey French writer and poet, André Suarès, made over a century ago. Marrying antique art movements with Van Cleef & Arpels’ heritage and signature style, each piece is inspired by the places they represent. The 70 pieces are an invitation to discover the Maison’s creativity, the excellence of its savoir-faire and its unique taste in gems.
