Van Cleef & Arpels and William Shakespeare are a marriage made in heaven. The artistic glory of the Renaissance and the romance between Romeo and Juliet have inspired a collection of 100 magnificent and unique jewels.

Why L’ÉCOLE School of Jewelry Arts is opening a Hong Kong campus

Nicolas Bos, president and CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels, says: “Shakespeare’s masterpiece acts as the starting point for a new thematic collection, and also provides a dialogue between high jewellery, dance, music and the visual arts.”
Van Cleef & Arpels’ new range taps into 3,000 carats of certified sparkle

The lovers themselves, the famous balcony, the gardens and the architecture of beautiful Verona, even the colours of the warring families, are brought into play.

The famous couple become three-dimensional delights as clips in white gold, rose gold, yellow gold, black lacquer, rubies, coloured sapphires, spessartite garnets, lapis lazuli, white and yellow diamonds. Emerald foliage drips from a diamond balcony to form the Balcone clip, which wonderfully depicts Romeo and Juliet in rose gold on the back. Mystery-set rubies and diamonds recreate ancient ramparts in the Merli bracelet.

Many of the pieces have their own secrets. The Verona long necklace transforms into a short necklace and a bracelet, or two bracelets with a clip. In white gold and blue gems, its centrepiece is a Burmese emerald-cut sapphire of 23.86ct. The Giardino necklace of sapphire beads with a carved Colombian emerald of 81.07ct can be reconfigured six ways.
