About Vintage Van Cleef & Arpels Necklaces
Mid-century Van Cleef & Arpels is highly valued for its innovative craftsmanship and elegant use of natural gemstones. Turquoise and pearls were signature materials of the Maison during the 1960s/1970s, often arranged in twisted, braided, or sautoir forms to create soft movement and sculptural depth. Pieces like this are sought after by collectors of vintage Van Cleef & Arpels, VCA turquoise jewellery, and those building curated collections of historic Maison creations.
