Van Cleef & Arpels are the creators of bejewelled irytales. Inside a small workshop in Paris, a handful of artisans dream about magical travels in Jules Vernes imagination, on the sandy beaches of California, back to a ballroom in the 20th century, the lost paradise of Atlantis or actual princess irytales from local folklore. Founded in 1896 by Alfred Van Cleef and his uncle Salomon Arpels, the Parisian jeweller soon attracted the attention of royalty and designed crowns and jewellery for coronation ceremonies. Having the experience of designing for actual princesses, it comes as no surprise that they hold the secret of how to make a woman feel like elegant queen.
