The Van Cleef & Arpels Zodiaque Medal Leonis Yellow gold VCARP7SO00 is a stunning timepiece that features a gorgeous yellow gold bracelet with an attractive engraved design of the zodiac. Each of the twelve signs of the zodiac is depicted on the bracelet and the watch is also presented with a matching pendant.

Aries pendant

The Van Cleef & Arpels Zodiaque collection is a fusion of emblematic techniques. It pays tribute to the expertise of the Maison’s workshops. Each piece celebrates the symbolism of a zodiac sign. Whether in solid gold or adorned with rare ornamental stones, it is a reminder of the beauty of nature.

The first zodiac-inspired medals were created by Van Cleef & Arpels in the 1950s. These solid gold pieces were available in a variety of sizes. Their shapes were also varied, allowing for a wide range of designs. For instance, an Aries pendant was designed in the style of an ancient coin. On the reverse side of the pendant, the Aries sign was portrayed in Roman numerals.

Van Cleef & Arpels has been creating jewelry for more than a century. They pay attention to the purity and opacity of their stones, as well as their appearance on both sides. Some of their signature gemstones include lapis lazuli, amazonite, and turquoise. Other materials used in Van Cleef & Arpels’ collections are mother-of-pearl, diamonds, and wood.

In 2018, the brand unveiled the Zodiaque Lumineux watches collection. This collection includes long necklaces encrusted with rare ornamental stones. It also features a solid gold medal. These pieces are made with a 21mm diameter and are handcrafted in a manner that emphasizes the symbolism of each star sign.

Moreover, this brand has developed a line of whimsical accessories. These include an 18-karat gold-plated nameplate that features a stylish script.

Taurus pendant

Van Cleef & Arpels are known for creating diverse and unique jewelry pieces. Their Zodiaque collection highlights emblematic creations from the brand’s heritage. The collection features solid yellow gold medals in a variety of sizes, shapes and forms.

As a company, Van Cleef & Arpels has a strong affinity for symbolism, specifically astrology. The firm has a long history of interpreting celestial bodies in a variety of ways, including through astrologically inspired jewelry, lucky charms and mixed-size charms.

To celebrate the Zodiac, the firm reimagined its first Zodiac medals in 2014 with a series of three-dimensional zodiac representations. These are made of intricately polished yellow gold. They are available in a 21 mm size, a new dimension for the firm. Each medal features a zodiac sign on one side.

Another item in the Van Cleef & Arpels Zodiaque collection is a pendant featuring the zodiac signs. This piece features a Taurus, the star sign of the firm, in a chromed aventurine. Other stones include red jasper, red pietersite and sodalite.

The firm’s Zodiaque Lumineux collection combines the Zodiac with emblematic techniques to create a stunning collection of luxury timepieces. It also includes a selection of necklaces fashioned from rare ornamental stones.

While a necklace is a classic accessory, a pendant is a more modern way to commemorate the star signs of the firm. A taurus pendant, for example, starts at $150 and tops out at $11,850.

Leo pendant

Van Cleef & Arpels has long been inspired by the heavens and its own heritage. For more than a century, the Maison has created diverse jewelry and lucky charms, all based on the mythical world of the stars. It is with this in mind that the brand recently unveiled its Zodiaque Lumineux watches collection. Using rare and precious ornamental stones, the brand creates an ensemble that is both stylish and emblematic. Known as the zodiac in watchmaking, the collection features a pair of pendants and a bracelet. The star signs of the Western zodiac are celebrated in both sets, with the latter combining semi-precious stones of the birthstones for each sign.

The Zodiaque collection by Van Cleef & Arpels is a testament to the expertise of the Maison’s workshops. Each piece is crafted from a rare and pure yellow gold, which is then brushed and sanded to achieve an impressive finish. In addition, the design is enhanced by a contour of rose gold, which reflects light with intensity.

The first Zodiac medals were produced in the 1950s, and were available in a range of shapes and sizes. They were also made of various materials, including gold. A few years later, the brand released an entirely new style of medal. These solid gold pieces featured three-dimensional depictions of the astrological signs.

Today, the brand pays special attention to the characteristics of its ornamental stones. As such, they are chosen for their opacity, translucency, and appearance on both sides.

Virgo pendant

Throughout its century-long history, Van Cleef & Arpels has crafted a number of unique pieces. From cufflinks to lucky charms, these creations are all made from the finest materials. However, it was in the 1970s that this brand began focusing on astrological themes. They began producing jewelry designs inspired by the signs of the Zodiac. The following is a look at the iconic pendants from this era.

Virgo is the zodiac sign associated with the maiden, so a maiden-themed pendant is a fitting choice for the Virgo. This Van Cleef & Arpels Virgo necklace is constructed from yellow gold and features the Virgo zodiac on the front, as well as Roman numerals for the date. On the reverse side, the Virgo star sign is shown in relief.

Each of the signs of the Zodiac is represented by a stone, and Van Cleef & Arpels pays particular attention to selecting the best stones for each. Stones are selected for their translucidity, opacity, and aesthetic characteristics. For example, the Aries sign is portrayed by the iron eye, while the Virgo zodiac is reflected in shimmering golden obsidian.

The brand’s most recent astrology collection includes a bracelet, a necklace, and a pair of earrings. Each of the pieces incorporates semi-precious stones that represent each sign.

In addition to the gemstones, Van Cleef & Arpels uses pure gold to create pieces. These creations are created using emblematic techniques, and highlight the poetry of ornamental stones.

Libra pendant

Van Cleef & Arpels has always been fascinated with the heavens, and the Zodiac is no exception. This is evidenced by their Zodiaque collections, which combine emblematic techniques with rare ornamental stones to create a modern jewelry set. The Zodiaque medals are no exception, with the 21 mm diameter enclosing a three-dimensional depiction of the star sign.

The Zodiaque Lumineux series is another example. These watches are designed to celebrate the Zodiac, and highlight the company’s dedication to the best natural materials. They’re also accompanied by a bespoke watchmaking experience, where designers and lapidaries combine astrological symbols, the signs of the Zodiac and emblematic elements to create a unique piece of wearable art.

The most popular item from the collection is the solid gold medal. These pieces were made in the 1950s and have since made a spectacular comeback. A wide variety of shapes and sizes were produced, and they were marketed in various colours.

Another astrological symbol is the astronomical pendant. A reinterpretation of the zodiac, the pendant shows the elements that represent each sign, in relief, on both sides. Moreover, the pendant has a subtle design element. For example, the Libra pendant is set with a gold obsidian that echoes the overtones of the sign.

Several other astrologically inspired pieces have also been produced by the Maison, such as the Zodiaque Lumineux necklace, which features a pendant with a zodiac symbol and a diamond encrusted ring. Other items include the zodiac earrings, which feature semi-precious stones of each star sign’s birthstone.

Libra Lumineux watch

The Zodiaque collection of jewellery from Van Cleef & Arpels reflects the house’s expertise and artistic heritage. Its pieces feature precious ornamental stones and symbols of zodiac signs.

Each sign is represented in a unique way. For example, the earth sign of Libra evokes gold obsidian, shimmering embers, and luxuriant nature. In contrast, the air sign of Aquarius is symbolized by dark blue aventurine. These symbolic elements are complemented by graphic materials.

In its collections, Van Cleef & Arpels pays special attention to the characteristics of the gems and their translucidity. They are cut into large disks, which create a harmonious overall effect. Also, they are chosen for their opacity, which enhances their graphic qualities.

The Van Cleef & Arpels Zodiaque medals are crafted from yellow gold, with intricately polished details. The reverse side of each medal depicts the symbol of the zodiac sign.

Van Cleef & Arpels’s timepieces were also inspired by the heavens. Their dials feature hand-shaped enamel bead stars and precious stones. The brand has been using this technique for decades.

This innovative technique makes Van Cleef & Arpels’ timepieces a new and fun talking point. The light-on-demand module works independently of the watch movement. When it is activated, four to six LED lights are illuminated for three seconds. The light-on-demand module can be used as an alarm, but it doesn’t eat up the watch’s power reserve.
