"The luxury French jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels recently launched 12 new pieces in its Zodiaque collection, which has been a signature of the brand since the 1950s. Every piece in the collection celebrates the symbolism of constellations, while emphasizing nature and astronomy. The newest additions are twelve white-gold bracelets with a medallion that illustrates Western Zodiac signs on one side, and their symbols and dates in Roman Numerals on the other."
"Van Cleef & Arpels declares this the season to "adorn yourself with stars," which is right on theme, as the brand has always had a soft spot for talismans. The maison has been making wearable charms and medals like lucky Alhambra clovers encrusted with Mother of Pearl bordered in 18K gold beads, whimsical open-winged ladybugs mid-flight, and diamond-encrusted butterflies for more than a hundred years. Devoted fans are as iconic as its designs, including Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco and American heiress Barbara Hutton."
Van Cleef & Arpels expanded its Zodiaque collection with twelve new 18k white- and yellow-gold bracelets featuring medallions engraved with Western Zodiac signs and corresponding symbols and dates in Roman numerals. The designs continue a maison-long fascination with celestial movements, constellations, nature, and astronomy that dates to the company’s 1906 founding. The brand frequently builds talismanic jewelry—Alhambra clovers, ladybugs, butterflies—using 18k gold, mother-of-pearl, and precious stones. Pieces have evolved through notable eras such as the 1950s and 1970s and have attracted high-profile devotees, positioning the collection as wearable symbols intended to carry personal meaning.
