Aries pendant

Van Cleef & Arpels has reimagined the first Zodiac medals. The Zodiaque medal features a star sign in yellow gold. It also reflects the House’s astrology-inspired jewelry collections and combines emblematic techniques and rare ornamental stones.

The Zodiaque collection pays tribute to Van Cleef & Arpels’ heritage and the Maison’s workshops. Each piece of jewelry is a testament to the expertise of the house. To produce a fine piece, Van Cleef & Arpels experts work with lapidaries to achieve a harmonious ensemble of ornamental stones. Stones are selected for their opacity, translucency, and graphic effect.

For example, lapis lazuli on the Gemini pendant echoes the blue aventurine of Aquarius. Another example is the rose gold hammered contour. This detail is a nod to the lore about gold motifs being recreated in rose gold.

In the 1970s, Van Cleef & Arpels introduced zodiac-themed pendants. These pieces featured figures in relief on both sides. Today, the company creates both zodiac-themed jewelry and lucky charms.

The company has been creating jewelry since the early 1900s. Since then, the company has used a variety of materials to craft its creations. Some of these materials include mother-of-pearl, wood, diamonds, and ornamental stones. However, the one material that has always been at the heart of Van Cleef & Arpels’ designs is gold.

Since its founding, the house has drawn inspiration from nature. As such, the Zodiaque collection is a testament to the company’s expertise. Among other things, it reimagines the signs of the Western zodiac.

Capricorn pendant

On the reverse side of the medal is a simple and elegant zodiac symbol. Designed to be worn on the right hand side, the engraved piece is the perfect complement to any sartorial ensemble.

Lumineux watches

These medals were first introduced in the 1950s, but the brand has recently revisited this theme in its collection. They are now available in a new size, 21mm.

The watches use piezoelectricity, which refers to the ability of certain materials to accumulate electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress. When the watch is activated, four to six LEDs light up, which last for about three seconds.
