After inspiring many artists over the centuries, the story of Noah’s Ark has now been interpreted by Van Cleef & Arpels through clips in the form of animal couples that express the glory and the beauty of nature. With a selection of precious, fine and hard stones, the legendary house blends its creativity with its poetry and expertise – giving life to a one-of-a-kind high jewelry collection.

Getting inspired by nature is not something new for VC&A but this time around, the house finds its inspiration in the fauna with all its richness and diversity. Over 60 couples of rabbits, elephants, koalas, owls, toucans and other animals constitute L’Arche de Noé racontée par Van Cleef & Arpels collection that reflects the maison’s values of love and affection, while the Pegasus, Phoenix and unicorn are presented singly in all their majesty.

This collection also revives the tradition of brooches that has been a signature of Van Cleef & Arpels since its foundation. The shine of diamonds and colored sapphires come together with the fires of opals, the sheen of onyx and the luminosity of turquoise to symbolize the beauty of life through magnificent high-jewelry savoir-faire.
