Haute Jewels: Van Cleef & Arpels Pierres de Caractère

Today we’re taking a close up look at the Pierres de Caractère collection by Van Cleef & Arpels. The manufacture originally released this collection seven years ago in honor of Van Cleef & Arpels’ centenary. This year the manufacture released the collection’s newest chapter, Pierres de Caractère – Variations.

This collection is the perfect complement to colorful summertime style, with exceptionally bright, rare stones. From the 40 carats of Mozambican rubies on the Oriental Princess necklace to the 9.03 carat old cut D IF type 2A diamond on the Ancolie Précieuse ring, the vivid 9,04 carat orange-yellow diamonds on the Precious Light earrings and the sea-blue turquoise on the Sea Side ring, the Pierres de Caractère collection is what you should pack for that trip to Club 55 in Saint-Tropez.
