VAN CLEEF & ARPELS 18 karat Yellow Gold Chapeau Chinois Bracelet
A
striking VCA bracelet from the Chapeau Chinois collection, made of 18k gold.
The
Chapeau Chinois collection was first presented to the public in 1931. The brand
created it for the Paris Exposition Coloniale Internationale, a fair that was
dedicated to the world’s art and culture.
Van Cleef & Arpels’ designers were inspired by a
traditional Chinese hat which they embodied in high- polished gold. This
particular bracelet belongs to a re-launched collection in 2000. Shiny, bright
lined up “hats” look absolutely stunning on a wrist. The pointy tops create a
great play of light. This VCA bracelet is as unusual as it is elegant and chic.
The
bracelet measures 7" x 1 ¼” (18 x 3 cm) and weighs 46.7 grams.
The
bracelet is stamped with VCA maker's mark, French hallmarks for 18k gold and a
serial number
In
great condition; wear consistent with age and use (please see pictures for
details).

About the Brand:
Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry has been worn by celebrities and royalty since the first boutique opening in 1906. Being founded by a daughter of a precious stone dealer and a son of a stone cutter, Estelle Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef, the brand was meant to be big in the jewelry world. Press used to call the power couple union ?The Maison based on love.? Even before Art Deco was pronounced as a style, VCA brand was known for their skillfully made, bold geometric pieces. Later, during the century, the jewelry maker mastered this design approach to the top-notch jewelry level. The experimental spirit, fearless usage of the exotic materials and truly unique gemstone combinations brought Van Cleef & Arpels to the top three of the jewelry world.
