Dentelle
Putting the spirit of invention and love of precious stones to the fore, Van Cleef & Arpels has created the High Jewellery line of delicate and refined timepieces, issued in extremely limited editions. Each of these timepieces provides a sublime setting for the rarest of precious stones, carefully selected to make subtle and creative jewellery, as a timepiece beautifully concealed. Every timepiece is bedecked as it were with a thousand and one precious stones, whose colours interplay in patterns as rich as Nature's foliage, in the distinctive Van Cleef & Arpels style. Through its High Jewellery timepiece line, Van Cleef & Arpels brings to the fore the best of two worlds: High Timepieces for the finest in the craft tradition of precision watch-making and High Jewellery for the purest jeweller's artifice.
The Dentelle timepiece is part of the High Jewellery collection, itself inspired by the theme of Haute Couture, which is one of Van Cleef & Arpels favoured themes. A sculptured creation of diamonds to adorn a timepiece, Dentelle is the purest expression of the Van Cleef & Arpels' commitment as a Jeweller to making timepieces of ultimate aesthetic appeal.
The delicate artistry of this timepiece is expressed in the fine harmony of its design, which also makes it extraordinarily fine and comfortable to wear.
Crafted with a jeweller's love of precious materials, this Van Cleef & Arpels design is so fine it almost makes one forget that diamonds and gold are the materials, so light and soft to the touch is this lace-like timepiece.
Lace is a celebration of femininity, arresting the eye with patterns that delight; but allowing the gaze to see beyond, hinting at the mystery of womanhood without revealing it.
The Dentelle timepiece is kaleidoscopically attractive, a multi-faceted and ever-changing prism, reflecting womanhood in all its mystery, a combination of light and shade, a creation in ever-renewed magnificence.
In the purest tradition of High Jewellery, Van Cleef & Arpels has devoted special attention to the clasp.
Covered with inset precious stones, the clasp is fastened by two diamond studded chains in a lace-like linkage.
