Just besides these exquisite pieces are important natural treasures and scientific artifacts from the world-renowned Minerals and Gems Collection of the French National Museum of Natural History in Paris, invited by L’.cole Van Cleef & Arpels.

Nicolas Bos, Chief Executive Officer of Van Cleef & Arpels invited actor Cate Blanchett to preview the exhibit and see the great art that goes into the creation of Van Cleef & Arpels’ jeweled pieces.

Making their way among the 1,500 sq mt of galleries dedicated to the exhibition, visitors are submerged in a timeless atmosphere of mystery, heightened by lighting effects ranging from midnight blue to deep green. The décor was created by the duo of Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku.
