Founded in Paris in 1906, Van Cleef & Arpels is celebrated for its poetic designs, masterful use of precious gemstones, and innovative techniques like the “Mystery Set.” Brooches from this prestigious house are highly sought after — especially vintage or limited-edition pieces.
From whimsical animal figures to stylised floral motifs and abstract Art Deco designs, each Van Cleef & Arpels brooch tells a story of elegance, craftsmanship, and creativity. Pieces signed by the Maison and accompanied by original documentation often command a premium at auction.
