Van Cleef & Arpels (vancleefarpels.com) embarks on a dazzling voyage of imagination and artistry with the unveiling of its latest high jewelry masterpiece at the enchanting Vizcaya Gardens in Miami. Inspired by Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson’s beloved 1883 novel, the collection captures the adventurous spirit of childhood tales, sparking wonder and rekindling cherished memories.
Through unparalleled craftsmanship, the maison’s designers, artisans and gemologists have crafted a narrative that unfolds across three captivating chapters. “Adventure at Sea” channels the thrill of maritime exploration with designs evoking ropes, waves and treasures of the deep. “Exploring the Island” immerses us in a tropical paradise, where vibrant jewels reimagine lush vegetation, golden beaches and gentle fauna. Finally, “The Treasure Hunt” unveils a hidden trove of masterpieces, featuring vivid gemstones, intricate goldwork and daring color combinations—transforming this timeless tale into a celebration of nature, artistry and discovery.
“Inspired by Treasure Island... the collection captures the adventurous spirit of childhood tales, sparking wonder and rekindling cherished memories.”
Highlights of the collection include the Hispaniola clip, a tribute to the ship that carried Stevenson’s characters across uncharted seas. Crafted in white and rose gold and adorned with diamonds, this exquisite piece captures the billowing sails of the ship in sparkling detail, evoking the linen sailcloth of the era. A mermaid figure in the background—a nod to Van Cleef & Arpels’ tradition of feminine designs since the 1940s—adds a touch of mythic allure.
