Discover Van Cleef & Arpels’ enchanting High Jewelry creations and timepieces at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition
The Maison’s distinguished High Jewelry creations and timepieces, combining refinement and elegance, are up for discovery at the Doha Jewelry and Watches Exhibition. Renowned for its extraordinary savoir-faire, Van Cleef & Arpels uses stones of exceptional quality in this creative selection of feminine jewellery and iconic timepieces. The luxurious exposition welcomes visitors and jewellery enthusiasts at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center from May 9th to the 14th. This year’s captivating selection includes precious High Jewellery creations and poetic timepieces that are very dear to the Maison.
Celebrating the timeless elegance of one of the Maison’s great signatures, Van Cleef & Arpels is showcasing their timepiece and jewellery craftmanship with the exquisite Ludo watch at the Doha Fair. The Ludo watch is a restyled icon of the 1930s with an articulated gold ribbon that evokes the fluidity of a precious belt. The delicate mesh hexagonal design creates a suppleness that is paired with a stunning array of precious round, marquise and pear-shaped gemstones. The Ludo secret watch combines two traditions dear to the Maison: secret watch and transformability.
Enthralled by the beauty of white diamonds, the timeless and divinely feminine Snowflake collection will be on display at the fair. Evoking the beauty of a snow-covered landscape, this stunning collection has for several decades reinterpreted the “flocon” motif introduced by the Maison in the 1940s. As a special homage to the world of Couture, the elegance of the Snowflake collection is brought to life with a delicate pendant and brilliant earrings, both encrusted with exquisite white diamonds. This subtle yet striking collection was fashionable during the Art Deco era, as well as in the 1950s and 1960s; a timeless style that combines the glistening effect of diamonds with that of precious metal – either white gold or platinum. Providing the Snowflake creations with lightness and brilliance, the Mains d’Or – virtuoso craftsmen from Van Cleef & Arpels’ workshops – combine extreme attention to detail with various traditional techniques.
Visit the Van Cleef & Arpels booth at the Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition, DECC from May 9th to the 14th to witness some of the world’s most enchanting High Jewelry creations and timepieces.
