The Elsewhere

Aside from Paris, other places in the world have also deeply inspired Van Cleef & Arpels. Let’s discover them!

From ancient times, people have been fascinated by ways of life that differ to their own. A series of 19th and 20th century political events increased opportunities for travel and cultural exchange around the world and this had a profound effect on the arts.

From the gods of Ancient Egypt to Pre-Columbian symbols, African panthers, American cowboys, and Indian fabrics and jewelry, Van Cleef & Arpels has drawn inspiration from other civilizations, mixing times and styles but always remaining true to culture, art and beauty.
