Van Cleef & Arpels takes a Grand Tour of high jewellery

Van Cleef & Arpels’ Europe
Van Cleef & Arpels necklace inspired by Grand Tour

The Grand Tour, popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, saw aristocrats embark on adventures around Europe, taking in Paris, Italy, northern France, Switzerland and the German provinces in an embrace of culture and art. Van Cleef & Arpels founder André Suarès took his own trip in 1910, four years after founding the jewellery maison, later publishing his account in Le Voyage du Condottière.

Now, Nicolas Bos, president and CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels, pays homage to this tradition in a vast new high jewellery collection encompassing 70 pieces inspired by the cities of the Grand Tour, as well as Roman, Etruscan, medieval and Renaissance antique jewellery and the heritage of Van Cleef & Arpels itself.
