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.

The Zodiaque Lumineux series is another example. It features an innovative mechanical system to illuminate the dials. Besides the obvious, this collection also features a solid gold medal.

Virgo pendant

Van Cleef & Arpels’ Zodiaque collection features two ranges of medallions. The first is a collection of long necklaces that are encrusted with rare ornamental stones. A second is a series of watches, the Zodiaque Lumineux. Both of these collections are inspired by iconic designs from the House’s history.

The Zodiaque collection pays tribute to the Maison’s heritage and workshop techniques. Each of the medallions in the series is crafted in an intricately polished yellow gold. These pieces are 21 mm in diameter and include the dates of the signs of the zodiac. They also emphasize symbolism.

The gemstones used in the medallions are chosen for their translucency, color nuances, and opacity. This results in harmonious color compositions for each element. In addition, the pendants have a graphic aspect, such as figures in relief.

Another element that is featured in the pendants is the symbol of the sign of Virgo. It is depicted on the back of the pendant. This zodiac maiden is stamped with the Georges L’Enfant manufacturing hallmark.

Unlike the first pendants in the series, these new versions are made of solid gold. However, these new medals are smaller than their predecessors. Despite this, they are gaining popularity among collectors. For the first time, Van Cleef & Arpels is producing these medals in a new, 21 mm size.

With the Zodiaque collection, Van Cleef & Arpels has combined emblematic techniques with precious materials to create a poetic interpretation of the signs of the zodiac. The collection is part of the house’s tradition of creating lucky charms since its inception. Regardless of your personal zodiac sign, you can find the perfect piece of jewelry to complement your personal style.

Taurus pendant

Van Cleef & Arpels Zodiaque is a collection of medals that reinterpret the signs of the Western zodiac. This collection combines emblematic techniques with precious materials, and pays special attention to the qualities of natural materials. Each medal is crafted from intricately polished yellow gold. It measures 21mm in diameter and features a symbol of the zodiac sign on the reverse side.

The collection is divided into two different ranges of medals. One of them is the Zodiaque Lumineux series. This series features an innovative mechanical system to illuminate the dials. Alternatively, the Zodiaque collection includes long necklaces with rare ornamental stones. Among the gems chosen for the jewellery are turquoise, lapis lazuli, and red jasper. In the earrings, each of the 12 signs is represented by a semi-precious stone.

In the necklaces, the names and dates of the zodiac signs are engraved on the back of the pendants. There are also stylised elements in the background. On the reverse, the sign of the zodiac is engraved in Roman numerals.

Throughout its history, Van Cleef & Arpels has drawn inspiration from the heavens. Hence, it has always created lucky charms, and zodiac-inspired jewelry.

In the 1950s, it introduced astrology-inspired jewelry, and later, mixed-size charms. Later, the brand also produced zodiac-themed rings, bracelets, pendants, and cufflinks. During the 1970s, the brand introduced colourful pendants.

Van Cleef & Arpels’ expertise lies in combining rare and ornamental stones with precious materials to create stunning jewelry. The house is particularly fond of natural materials, which are used to highlight the poetry of these stones. Ornamental stones are cut into large discs, and they are selected according to their opacity and translucency, as well as their colour nuance. These factors are considered when the experts work with lapidaries to develop an ensemble of stones that is symmetrical and harmonious on both sides.

Capricorn pendant

The Zodiaque collection from Van Cleef & Arpels features one of its kind pieces like the Capricorn pendant. This is one of the many astrologically themed items from the house of fabled craftsmanship. Like its predecessors, the new collection features a variety of materials. Most of the creations in question are solid gold.

Although the Zodiaque collection is relatively new, the house has already made its mark on a variety of products, from lucky charms to watches. While some of the more esoteric designs are best left to the experts, the Zodiaque collection is a fun and whimsical look into the house’s illustrious heritage. A few standouts include the gold plated charm anklet, the capricorn pendant and the Zodiaque Luminaux watch. Several of the watches are also available in more consumer friendly metals and gems.

As for the capricorn pendant, the gold variant is the most appropriate choice. The bauble is a mere two inches in diameter. It is a fine piece of jewellery crafted in Piscium Yellow gold. 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. For those who prefer a more formal affair, the enchained version is a better bet. If you can’t decide between the two, opt for the latter for a bit of both.

Other items of interest from the illustrious house of fabled craftsmanship include the Zodiaque Luminaux ring, which is the aforementioned ring in miniature. While it is not as flashy as its gold cousin, the ring is a definite show stopper. One of the many reasons why this collection is a must have for collectors and fashionistas alike.

Lumineux watches

Van Cleef & Arpels Zodiaque medal Piscium Yellow gold Lumineux watches are timepieces that light up your wrist with the help of an innovative mechanical system. The house is known for its fine watchmaking and uses natural materials in its designs. It is important to know that Van Cleef & Arpels’ R&D team has made an effort to come up with new and exciting timepieces.

The collection includes twelve watches. They feature different techniques, such as the Lady Arpels Planetarium with its diamond-and gem-encrusted oscillating weight. This design was selected as one of the best timepieces of the year by the Robb Report. Other designs in this collection feature the iconic zodiac signs with Art Deco compositions.

The dials of these watches feature precious stones and enamel. These gemstones are chosen for their opacity and quality of surface. For example, the dial of the Libra watch features shimmering gold obsidian, which evokes the Libra sign. Similarly, the Leo watch’s silvered foil and red jasper are the symbols of the sign. Lastly, the Taurus watch’s white gold dial resembles the Taurus sign.

Unlike traditional zodiac jewelry, these medals have been created to celebrate your own personal jewels. Each zodiac sign is represented by a different ornamental stone, such as lapis lazuli or amazonite. In addition, the earth signs, such as the Taurus sign, are represented by randomly-chromed aventurine.

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.
