Céphéide necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels

EDITOR'S REVIEW

• Inspired by the magnificence of the night sky, Van Cleef & Arpels 2021 high jewellery invites us to dream with the stars
• The designers at Van Cleef & Arpels looked different interpretations of the night sky from classical Greek writings, to the early C17th work of Johannes Kepler ‘Lunar Astronomy’ and Camille Flammarion’s 1880 Astronomie Populaire with its quaint views on the cosmos as well as the more recent mind-blowing images captured by NASA
• One-of-a-kind
• Like many of Van Cleef & Arpels’ jewels the Céphéide necklace is transformable
• It features eleven milky-mauve chalcedony cabochons (totalling close to 160 carats) that capture the half-light of these distant bodies
• The detachable clip combines rare two-tone mauve and green tanzanites with the neon flash of green tsavorites
• White gold
