Van Cleef & Arpels' high jewellery being shown at the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris is inspired by the writings of French master of fantastical voyages, Jules Vernes and his extraordinary journeys. From oozing magma from the centre of the earth to the great sights of world as viewed from the basket of a hot air balloon, blue planets with diamond orbits and writhing sea creatures, this eclectic collection pushes to the limits the creativity and workmanship of Van Cleef's Paris ateliers.
