An emerald, diamond and platinum brooch, signed Van Cleef & Arpels, circa 1970
Description:
Since its foundation in 1906, Van Cleef & Arpels has taken a particular interest in flora and fauna, which it has incorporated into the vocabulary of its designs ever since. Whilst many animals have been transformed into brooches, flowers hold a special place, evolving over the decades and adapting to every style, from Art Deco to contemporary designs. Our “Camellia” brooch is quintessentially emblematic of the 1960s and 1970s, both in its setting—a skilful blend of round and calibrated diamonds—and in its design, which exudes movement and lightness. Diamonds and emeralds seem to have been plucked for this flower that will never fade.
