Frosted Diamonds

In tune with the seasons, Van Cleef & Arpels contemplates the wonders of nature and celebrates them in highly poetic creations. Evoking the beauty of a snow-covered landscape, the Snow Flake collection has for several decades reinterpreted the “flocon” motif introduced by the Maison in the 1940s. Entirely set with diamonds, these pieces embody Van Cleef & Arpels’ taste for White High Jewelry.

Explored by the Maison ever since its foundation, the couture theme also takes pride of place on this bow clip, which recalls the models created by Van Cleef & Arpels from the 1930s onwards. On these creations, the gold’s delicate openwork evokes the lightness of precious fabrics. This Snow Flake clip traces a bow in platinum and diamonds, bound by a rounded jewelry motif entirely set with stones. Endowed with subtle energy, this asymmetric three-dimensional piece will adorn either an outfit or the hair like a ribbon of light.
