High jewellery is given a literary twist in Van Cleef & Arpels' new Treasure Island-inspired collection

High jewellery.

Van Cleef & Arpels take inspiration from a literary classic for its latest high jewellery collection, which translates Robert Louis Stevenson’s adventure story, Treasure Island, into precious stones and metals. Divided into three parts, the collection considers traditional tools of navigation in the first chapter, rethinking the sailor’s knot and painting the colours of the ocean in a gradient of blue hues. Staying faithful to the traditions of the Maison, the second chapter looks at motifs from nature, from seashells, to flowers and trees. In the final chapter, jewellery is imbued with an adventurous spirit, intertwining references from Asia, Columbia and India throughout colourful, considered pieces.
